For those who are thinking about a downpipe...

WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW what an upgrade. I crapped my pants when I put my foot down for the first time after installing Buschurs 3 inch downpipe! It revs so much quicker and easier. Best mod ever!

I stayed away from it because I DD the car and don't want it to be louder than it is with the HF cat and 3 in catback BUT I DON"T NOTICE IT BEING ANY LOUDER!!!

All this time I thought it was going to make my ears bleed and it barely changed, if at all. I'll be putting on the dynomax VT muffler this week so i'll post how that goes.

Good thing you told the Evo community we had no idea about downpipes and their benefits

Well the turbo does need to breathe. Did you put an aftermarket exhaust with that downpipe?

Jesus tap-dancing christ, do I detect a little sarcasm?

I'm just saying, after reading this sight up and down, NO WHERE has anyone pointed out that adding a 3 in dp to a catback does NOT make it any louder.

So stick that in your downpipe and smoke it...

Almost everybody on this forum already has a downpipe. You're one of the last to buy one.

Nice picture. I'm guessing that this downpipe does add just a little noise!
