Default Ford orion rs turbo conversion

Ive got a mk2 ford orion converted to 1.8 ZVH. Im on the final stages but having trouble finding what downpipe to use? Anyone got any recommendations or know anywhere selling one?

Thanks in advance.

Do you not use the escort rs turbo system with a modded back box?

Yeah extend an RST system is an easy option.

I guess it depends on what manifold and exhaust housing your using.

is it an erst setup or cosworth style?

Sort downpipe for either setup fairly easy.
You can actually use the whole erst system and make the backbox section longer. Or just the tailpipe depending on system and size as it might look silly.
