Who uses what downpipe?

I like the Stromung. Price and quality influence me in this regard. It bolts to the stock system and the remaining components can be done in little "bits" as the wallet allows.

What say you?

By the way, I have the Godspeed uppipe. Don't ask about the install. But sometime soon we need to start a thread about places (and products) to stay away from.

Do you mean that the godspeed uppipe is a bad product? or the place that installed it messed up or what? By the way, Ill be gettin a vishnu downpipe.

My Godspeed Uppipe was fine. No problems. Its not as "pretty" as others, but its performance that counts. If I had problems I'm sure God would've replaced the uppipe no problem. Good vendors will do that.

Turbo XS makes a nice down pipe. You can get their stealth back, which basically is their down pipe, your choice of either a high flow cat or test pipe and a mid pipe and this would mate to your stock axle back. This system can be had for $570 shipped from quite a few vendors.

The Godspeed uppipe is fine.

It was my experience with the installer I'm referring to.

I'm going with the Godspeed USDM downpipe. It's the cell fix and the good experience that I had with his uppipe that convinced me to stick with it.

I'm waiting for the Vishnu downpipe. It looks totally over engineered. That's good in my book.

$570 shipped?

The best i have seen was $624 from Mach V. I haven't seen it that cheap here and i-club. Where did you see it that cheap?

How much hp is a catless downpipe good for at the wheels (approx, of course)? Plus I know that the Godspeed weighs half as much as the stock downpipe/midpipe set up.

Let me get something sraight...If you get a catless up pipe and downpipe, can you still pass emissions with the one cat left in the mid pipe???

 

[Nexus6]

most cars only have one cat anyways.

and yes, this is who I purchased my system through

 

[VetteVert]

And you received the product OK? This guy has poor feedback on ebay....I was going to buy an HPMBC before checking out his feedback.

I just ordered the system on Monday, I'll let you know if I have any difficulties. Your comment about his rating on Ebay does have me concerned. Fortuantely, he and I are both verified on paypal, so if worse comes to worse, I will be able to get my $ back.

Sorry to hijack this thread but pleaes keep us posted on how the transaction goes with this vendor. I figure if it goes well, some of us in this thread might benefit from this great price.

I don't think anybody really knows the answer to that question yet, since few people if any have yet had to go through emissions testing with an '02 WRX.

It might pass the sniff test, but it will definetely fail upon visual inspection. Unless your state doesn't require some sort of visual inspection, there has to be pre cats/cats in the original location. See if you can find a little birdie to let you in on some "friendly" SMOG stations. tee hee

I hope so, I've known of people that have been screwed over by a seller, and both paypal and eBay wouldn't do a damn thing. Pay with a credit card, and if worse comes to worse, you'll have a good chance at having the credit card company taking off that transaction. Just make sure you do it within 90 days.

Hmmm...you make a really good point there Pace. I hadn't thought of that. What about warranty wise: will it void it at all? I know I'm full of questions, but I just want to know everything. You know what I'm saying.
