PoohBearCale Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Any benefit...someone has one FS on the marketplace. Or should I just get an aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The benefit is that it looks completely stock. Which is important if you are worried about your warranty or your state has visual emissions inspections. That and it should be cheaper than any aftermarket offering. The only performance benefit that I can think of would be the fact that it should retain heat better than and unshielded aftermarket DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grocery getter Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I am pretty sure you will still be restricted by the size of the bellmouth and pipe itself. The stock Downpipe is still smaller than most aftermarket DP's. I am sure you would see gains but maybe not as much as if you went slighter bigger. If your on the stock turbo the difference may not be that great but if you went aftermarket (like a HTA68 or 20G) that would be a limiting factor for more power. Hope this helps.

fahr_side Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 On a smaller turbo you will get the same power as with an aftermarket part. Going to a bellmouth style DP I got slightly earlier spool and the improved flow through the wastegate smoothed boost control a lot. OTOH, stealth is underrated. The stock part is really quiet and has great heatshields. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

GotTurboWut Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Contemplated doing the same thing. Look the design of aftermarket DP's. Much better flow = quicker turbo spool for a few hundred RPM's. CNT ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yup +1 for the CNT I originally was going to gut my dp but decided to go with the CNT. I think theres a group buy for like 260 shipped now for catted. Cant go wrong with that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
