Downpipes...

Since CircaX's downpipe is on backorder, are there any other alternatives? i don't trust the ebay one, so does anyone else know where i can get a downpipe from?

I wouldnt buy from him, I emailed him SEVERAL times and never got any help at all.... I have the random tech cat/downpipe, but havent installed it yet. I would suggest that since you get to keep both o2 sensors.

wannabefast: is your car excessively loud now with that downpipe?

is the thicker tubing on the downpipe a large resonator? ... or is it just straight all the way through ?

well its sounds like crap right now, but im gonna give it a while before it burns out the excess packing in the high flow cat, my piping is straight from the cat to the muffler, no resonator, and the wider tubing on the downpipe is a high flow cat so far the check engine light turned on once, but i reset my FI ECU and its fine right now but second gear is NOTICEABLY faster

as for the piping on the downpipe, you can see straight through it... so i dont know if that really affects anything

it's not a fat downpipe ... it's just a resonator welded onto the downpipe

if it has 2 holes for senors then no simulator should be needed.
