Question

Should there be an 'olive' used in between the OE Centre and the Downpipe?

Ian, yes you need to use an olive when fitting the HKS downpipe. However you will need to get an engineering workshop to weld a sleeve into the downpipe as the HKS don't have one. I have an HKS pipe fitted to my car and managed to get a local fabrication company to weld in a sleeve roughly 15mm wide into the downpipe then you can use the original olive off the standard downer.
Hope this helps
Regards
Mako

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

just get them to spot weld it, not seam weld it so you can remove it if necessary (3" centre section at some point)
