Making your own downpipe can save big bucks.
But until now flanges for your Volvo turbo were either
non existent, were not made correctly, or you had to settle
for a 1/4" poor-fitting-but-close-enough off-the-shelf
generic exhaust shop flange for your downpipe. The Volvo
turbo uses a gasketless mechanical seal, and for a leak
free downpipe the downpipe flange must have the mechanical
seal machined into it as well. Most if not all aftermarket
downpipes use generic flat flanges that do not have the
mechanical seal bored into it, and you end up with leaks.
This is great for cost savings, but you end up with a substandard
results.
Do it right the first time and get the
correct flange designed specifically for the job. Quickbrick
Motorsports offers quality laser cut 3/8" thick flanges
in mild or stainless steel. Bring the QBM downpipe flange
to any exhaust shop and they will be able to make a downpipe
for your car very inexpensively. You can even buy a mandrel
bend and a few 02 bungs and do it yourself!
All QBM downpipe flanges are CAD designed for each specific
Volvo turbo (not generic "close enough" flanges)
and CNC machined to add the necessary mechanical seal. (Click

Downpipe flanges are available for the following straight
housing applications*: 12T, 13G, 14T, 15G, 16T, 18T
* Use our handy application
chart to find out if your vehicle has a straight housing
turbocharger.
Note: It does not matter what size downpipe you plan
on building - the flange is no different for 2.5" vs
3" downpipe. The turbocharger model (according
to the application list above) will determine which is the
correct QBM downpipe flange to select.
