downpipe
I take it that they don't make a downpipe for our car unless you buy a full kit? So will I have to have one custom made or will a high flow cat work good enough? thanks
your going to have to have an exhaust shop make one. the downpipe has nothing to do with the cat really. You'll need to buy a flange that fits your exhaust housing on the turbo and have them weld it on and bend the steel(try to get it madrel bent if possible). the down pipe comes off the exhaust housing of the turbo and connects to the mid pipe.

Look at the A'PEXi N1 or GT Spec down pipes for say the Eclipse....they eliminate the cat, but add nice power.

I think you used to be able to buy maxrev's DP separate, but their site is different now and I don't see it for sale by itself anymore.
