Down pipe angle in degrees

Anyone know wht the angle is for a stock down pipe on a 1994 2 wd, the first bend from the turbine housing? I'm making a pipe for a different turbo and went to get a piece of bent pipe to start with, I thought it was a 45* then I saw the 60* peice and it looks like that one too. Anyone have any idea which one it is?

Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough but I always thought it was a 90*.

Definitely not a 90, closer to a 60. When I made my down pipes for my twins and gt4202 single, I bought mandrel bent pipe from an exhaust shop. Then you can cut it to any angle you want and it will still have a constant diameter to mate up to a straight piece of pipe.

The 1st gen are 90*, I was getting 45* with the protractor but if I move it a hair I get 60* Hard to see the center line with it still on the truck.
