Post Will an THDP for ATR headers fit stock headers???

Anybody know if a Terry Houston Downpipe designed for ATR headers will fit a GN with stock headers? Don't want to buy it if it won't fit. Thanks!

Cool

Should fit,no problemo.
The THDP for stock headers is too tight to clear the ATR crossover,so Terry made one for the ATR headers that "swings" out a littler farther.
Since the stock headers don't have the wide out crossover that Y's together at the turbo inlet,the THDP should clear the stockers no problem.

If that is the case, I would think he would make them all that way rather than having two jigs.

Cool

You would think so,but the fit for the ATR headers version goes between the heater box and frame rail where the gap is tighter.

thats what I thought, why not just make the ATR pipe to cut costs. Oh well, at least it will fit. Thanks
