Downpipe
« on: 26 August 2009, 19:28 »
Found this 3" downpipe on ebay.de
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140341695495&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:DE:1123
I know it's a 3" but since I don't want to upgrade my turbo I don't know if it's better to buy a 2.5" or 3"!
And is the price good? Or can I get them cheaper?

You're aware that's also a decat pipe and will fail an MOT? If you're okay with that then 3 inch is fine.. but i'd go for this one instead

Yeah that 1 is cheaper!
Why would it fail MOT? And is t a lot of work to install/take it off?

Oh and I found a Forge 007P valve for 70 pounds!
But here's my question: I do hear a shh sound now with only the CAI kit installed.
Will that sound be gone, the same, or more after installing the 007P?

The DV noise will remain, but it will sound more like a blow off valve with the forge and a cai

does anyone know if the downpipes linked would fit onto the standard exhaust for now? i know the bore would differ, would it cause any flow/ backpressure issues?

I can´t see a brand on that one. Would it still be good quality?
Just ordered the Forge 007P, now waiting for finding a decent downpipe
and after both of them installed I'm going to do a remap!

Yeah I can vouch for the quality of those ones. MOT fail not because of emissions.. you would probably still pass emissions test.. its the fact that ALL cars after 1992 MUST have a catalytic converter fitted to pass an MOT.

Yeah cause I want to fit the downpipe by the guys who
are mapping the car too. And they say they only fit quality products.
With quality products they mean products they fit instandly, without any extra work.
Ofcourse that´s better for me too cause I don´t have to pay for extra working hours.
So this 1 fits correctly? Thanks for the replies! :smug:
