This last shot shows the side by side comparison my downpipe with the stock piece, what a major difference. It even looks pretty.
Please don't email me, asking me to make you one of these, it is very time consuming and I need to move on to other things in the project ( so I get the car running). Once I get the Festy done, maybe I'll make up a jig to make some, but be forewarned This takes a while to make, and I made it all out of 16-gauge stainless steel, would probably cost you in the $300-$400 neighborhood if I were to make one for you., Granted with a jig I would half the time to make, and that price would include the second half of the downpipe with a flex tube.
Now I can concentrate more on the wiring which everyone wants to know the most about, so here we go. This picture is of the wiring harness from inside the Capri, (not the part that goes through the firewall to the engine and ECU) I salvaged this to get the specific, wire colors and about 3 feet of the wires and connector to connect up to the ECU. the wires on this side will attach, and then this connector will plug right in. This shot shows the harness after stripping off all the harness wrap, I also recycled some connectors from this piece
This is the connector, pulled away from the rest of the harness, this is from a Capri, not sure if the 323 is like this, Cam told me to cut the harness here, but the Capri has this connector so even better!
Another pic showing how much wire I got with the connector, more then enough to go to where the wires are to connect.
This shot shows the wiring from the B6T engine harness going through the Festiva firewall. If you have a 323 harness and have cut it, you need to strip off the casing all the way to the firewall to find which wires go from where, sounds funny but you'll understand as I go. If you have the Capri with the connector, you don't really need to.
