Default turbonetics kit...... help

i have a 06 tc with a turbonetics kit and the downpipe has a crack in it and the downpipe bolts keep working there way out. one of my buddys told me to go with a 3" downpipe with an open dump tube. is there anywhere where i can get one or if someone already has one they want to sell....lol i am also looking for a tubular style exhaust manifold for the kit too if anyone has any ideas where to get one of those also...lol ...... thanks

No problem, call Turbonetics and ask for the revised downpipe. Since I changed mine out over a year ago, I have had no problems.

As for the bolts, that just happens. You can go to the hardware store and try a different set or you can put some red loctite on them and just keep an eye on them.

The new downpipe has a slipfit joint that allows for some movement and also for a better fit.
