The Fiat has a downpipe that transitions to cross pipe...because the chassis was designed for Miata with header on right side of the car. Testing various downpipe ideas.

Is the down pipe a full 2.5" diameter? Is it close enough to things that don't like to get hot to justify a ceramic coating? Same questions for the crossover pipe.
Thanks again for sharing your development thread for the Fiat 124!

Pic showing inlet of stock Fiat124 Downpipe...it pinches well below 2 inches, far from ideal.

Out with factory small and pinched crosspipe in the background, in with our 2.5 inch upgrade!
This is what connects the catalytic converter on the Fiat 124 to the Midpipe and it is critical for turbo spool and flow.
