hx 35 stock backhousing vs BEP T3 backhousing

[richard33]

I have an hx35 with the stock divided t3 backhousing which I got a custom downpipe made. Im thinking about switching to the aftermarket T3 backhousing but not sure it if my downpipe will still work. I know they are both v-band but are the backhousings the same size? Meaning will the new T3 put my downpipe in a different location to where it wont fit anymore? The downpipe is already a tight fit that snakes by the oil filter and some other stuff down there.

Thanks for the info.

Im not 100% sure but i dont think it will.. im not a certain but if u absolutely have to have the aftermarket one just get another down pipe.

I see a couple problems here, BEP uses a 3" vband that only fits their own special clamps/flanges. So you could cut off your flange on your o2 housing and weld the bep one on, but the bep vband clamp is 79$. Second problem is nobody makes a downpipe for bep housings due to the many manifold combinations that can be used with the t3 housing.
