Sometimes helping might actually be better than just trying to insult. But hey what do I know.
Oh, I agree, but we've already been through this on 5 other threads, and he STILL refuses to search. Go look at all the other people I help. I help people AND tell them to search. The smart ones say "thanks," and then actually take the advice and start searching. A few imbeciles refuse to search and just continue posting inane questions over and over.

Thanks

I will never say that you dont know your stuff cause you do and you do have good advice Warr. But weve gotten into before and lots of other people have agreed, you have a "I'm better than you" attitude and it just keeps showing up....people skills man.

I used what few people skills I have the first 3 times he posted basic, easily-searchable questions. He completely ignored my suggestions and has continued to post retarded questions on an almost daily basis...just like bbyevo8u. That's my only beef. I understand what you're saying, though, and don't disagree.

The answer to the title of your topic, No, not all the Downpipes are the same.

You will find companiees that makes Downpipes with a Cat bolted on, other companies makes Downpipes with flex portions for better flexibility, then you have different sizes, 2.5", 2.65", 2.75", 3" etc, etc

Basicly they are all going to give you similar result and they are all going to help you with the spoool up.

The flex section from what I have read is there for companies that mass produce things and have their tolerences opened up to much. It is there so the thing will fit. Buschur and Vishnu pipes typically don't use these because the EVO is their "bread and butter" so to say. They make their stuff fit right the first time.

Typically anything straighter and mandrel bent will give you more power. I have read that anything over 2.5" will yield better results than the stock piece.
