o313 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I am in the market for a Downpipe and up-pipe but there are more then a few choices. Cobb has a nice looking DP but no UP? What brand and why please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowImg Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 As the FAQ says .. somewhere on here, how fast do you want to spend? I think had I not wanted a catted downpipe, and wasn't too lazy to have someone weld a cat in, I would have gone with this: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72167 I have an 08 though, so no need for a UP.

o313 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have an auto trans and MR doesn't appear to offer a 5EAT DP. It is listed in your thread but not on the MR site, Catted or non catted also? Does going with a catless DP do very much other then save money and make it louder?

ShadowImg Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Check the thread I linked, they do indeed. "Megan Racing Downpipe (5EAT): $210 shipped" What they do not have is catted DPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskajoel Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 tend to stay away from the x02 stuff but thats just me Good idea. Their CBE rusted sooo bad. As for downpipes, if you go fully catless you'll likely get some stink. In terms of what is the "best downpipe", unless you plan on going past stage 2, there really isn't a whole lot of differences other then price and materials used in it's construction. My gutted stocker (gutted just the first cat) performed every bit as good as the crucial shorty i had on before hand, and it didn't stink very much because i kept the second cat. The crucial added a little bling and more sound, but the gutted stocker was undetectable by the idiots who did my safety/emissions inspection in Texas. All this was documented in this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85088&highlight=gutted Gut your own DP, get an STI up, and you're good for stage 2.

o313 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I am glad to hear that becuase I was wanting stage2 but I don't want it to sound like a VW Vanagon with an exhaust leak. Can anyone else confirm how well gutting the stocker worked for them? I had some questions regarding the design of the stock "bellmouth", it seams offset a bit and that creates a hot spot in the exhaust. Badass thread! http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47020&highlight=gutted+dyno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
