FYI on 850 Exhaust setup.
I have the new exhaust for a week now and was finishing getting the parts to install it.
I had to get an exhaust housing for the turbo to remove the Conical setup and install a straight flange setup.
This is the new setup I needed.
And here is what I found.
When compairing the new housing to the old one there is a pretty big difference. See in the pics below the difference in the 2 housings. The newer one is alot bigger on the exit where the exhaust connects than the old one.
It was a pretty big surprise to me when I first saw it as well. I just wanted to share with everyone what I found.
Once the full exhaust is done I will post pics as well of the system. I will also do a sound clip if I can figure out how to post it.

Hopefully really soon still waiting on a few parts. But might still install it and drive without the tails for now till the parts come in.

Yes they are AWESOME!!! But the next couple of weekends busy and all I need is the 2 other flanges to come in and be welded in quick then the tails will be on.
SO I am really not sure if I want to install the rest then when they come in have them quick welded in and done or not.

Just starting to look at exhaust altenatives -- what model years are the conical vs. model years for the flat flange? how much trouble to change if i am going to install a downpipe back exhaust anyway?
i must presume the flat flange is still 'gettable'. more questions on your conversion elsewhere!

The 94 and 95 have the conical setup. The 96 and up have the straight flange. But later models also have the angled flange. I was going to link you to a site but it is not working now. But here is the link anyways.http://www.quickbrickmotorsports.com...lange_list.htm

On the exhaust: I have an exhaust leak, and have no clue what condition the exhaust is in - I didn't bother to look at it when i bought the car because I planned on replacing it anyway. Has anyone here had a shop just bend them a 3" piece of pipe for a turbo bacvk exhaust? That's what I'm considering doing. A friend of mine is an electrical genius and said he would have NO problem wiring something up for me to fool the back O2 sensor into thinking there was still a cat there.
Any thoughts on this, or how feasable it is? I'm pretty sure I can get that done a LOT cheaper than i can buy an aftermarket exhaust. I'll probably buy a flowmaster to have welded into the exhaust at some point.

Go to the local auto parts store and find the spark plug Non foulers.Like these. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web..._A|GRP2037____
Then this is what you need to do. Both in the end with be screwed together then screwed into the rear O2 sensor location. But before you put them in you will have to drill the center hole bigger so the O2 sensor will fit into the first on closest to the sensor.
What that does is pull the rear O2 out of the direct exhaust flow. Then the sensor only sees a slight bit of flow and fools it into thinking all is well.
