Sounds stupid, but I'm wondering what the stock downpipe from a ihi rhb5 is made out of... it looks like cast iron.

I heard MacGyver makes his downpipes from a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip, and a rubber band.

wtf... the thing that bolts up to the turbo that carries the exhaust out... what is it made out of? it certainly doesn't look like regular exhaust pipe.

If it's an ssautochrome downpipe then it's probably made from paper mache
