**DustYouWithMyRex** · 01-05-2013 09:57 AM

Hello everyone i know i have already spoke with a few of you guys in the chat area but i wanted a few more opinions on who are some companies that make downpipes that are good quality?

I have already looked a at PERRIN, Nameless, COBB, Invidia, and one more i just cant recall the name.

I've ran a TurboXS downpipe for years without complaints.. now I'm switching to ETS. The ETS piece is great, but probably not for you.

If it were my money, I would go with:
1) TurboXS
2) Invidia
3) Cobb

In that order.

I went with Turbo XS, no fitment issues or other issues... I think you will need the stealthback though because the DP is for 02-12... or 13 now and the newer cars the DP doesn't mate up the right way without that extra pipe. This is just MY opinion, others may know better and I could be wrong. I bought a custom pipe that Eric from TP had made for his own car before he got a full exhaust.

what changed on the '13 that it needs a different downpipe? this is news to me, could of sworn the '13 is the same as the '12....and the '11....and the '10.....and the '09...you get the idea lol

The 08 sti uses same downpipe

You already have a bunch of good names. Any of them will do just fine, but there are really just two things that ideally you want:
1) Cast iron bellmouth
2) Catted (prevents possible boost creep issues, also helps with emissions)

i'm not saying the downpipe changed from 2013 I was saying also the 13's... or trying to anyway. I'm just not sure if the section at the back mates up to the OE exhaust with the TurboXS, someone else that has one would have to verify that one.
