exhuast down pipe,
« on: 30 July 2012, 23:21 »
riight then. my exhuast flexy is blowing very very badly which is making it run very poor also as its just before the lambda so its making it have crazy readings. ive been quoted 150 pounds for a new down pipe as ive been told the welds on my down pipe currently are not very good im currently running a 2,5" powerflow exhuast. does that seem about right or should i just get rid of the exhuast alltogether, ps cars a mk4 agu any advise? what would you do in this situation?

My mates run one for a year no problems. Probally not as good as miltek for instance but not the worst. There 3inch into 2 and 1/2 but can be cut for 3inch fully.

For a extra 50 odd quid you could get a full 3inch system from turbo back off eBay buddy
