Gday mate,

Mine has been done to look like it's standard, so I don't have a clue. Maybe give someone a call in your area who may know...or someone else might know!

How's the work going on yours mate?

Chris.

Gday Maurie,
Who is fitting your exhaust , i got a 3inch mandrel in aluminised steel flanged in the same way the original is . this is important if gearbox if ever to be removed . paid $660 for it and am yet to see a better exhaust and have worked on nissans for over 12 years.
