Pipe to go from RB header to Apex dual N1 catback question
Ok Im having Don Marvel make me a custom pipe to go from a racing beat header to my Apex'i dual N1's. What I need to know is, is the pipe going to need to be bent at all or is it just going to need to be straight. He and I were talking about it and he was pretty sure it was supposed to be straight and im pretty sure it is supposed to be straight as well. Also, it needs to be 20 inches long correct? I assume this because that is how long the presilencer is that RB sells to go with the header.

not sure but i do know i ran into the same problem when i started mixing and matching brands. i ended up with a 2 1/2" length of stainless steel which i'm not sure of the actual length to fit between my racing beat down pipe and my single Apexi N1. the beauty of it was, it only cost me $20

Make the pipe the same dimensions as the RB presilencer. The Apex catback is just that: it bolts to the stock cat back location, and the RB header/presilencer combo ends at the same place as the stock cat ends. Trust me, whatever length the RB presilencer is, that is what you wanna get.

Actually, I believe the RB presilencer is 21" long. And, it is straight, and the flanges line up with each other on both ends. I've had a replacement pipe made at a muffler shop for like $20 - just took a gasket, said I need a 21" pipe with a flange on both ends that matches the gasket, paid the man cash, went home . Just don't tell them what it's for!
