After 30 yes..

 

Yeah stretched bubble gum..

 

Best bang for the buck in my opinion is the DC Sports racing downpipe, which incorporates a testpipe into the downpipe...

 

I've been through a few downpipes where manufacturers dropped the ball in one aspect or another of their design and finally found the best downpipe bar none. Educate yourself and check out this link below:

I dont really like how close that dp gets to the licp coupler. A few aftermarket ones, my rmr for instance, does have a larger first bend compared to the RRE piece. That may be not as beneificial for ultimate flow, but I would rather not fry my licp coupler. Keep in mind the dp and licp do move around a bit. That difference in bend imo is PROBABLY negligible considering the speed of the exhaust gasses at that spot. I will try and get a pic of my RMR dp with ets licp. There is lots more room between the two.
Im not knocking on RRE stuff btw, they make excellent products.

 

+1 best pipe for the money.

 

Too many bends for my taste..

 

but if you ever plan on going big turbo, your gonna need to get a test pipe anyway.... just something to keep in mind

 

your 03 doesnt have to have the same bends as 05-06

why is that?

I have a ix now..lol.

because the DC sports downpipe deletes the cat, most downpipes dont... so if you go big turbo you will need to run the downpipe with the kit which will only goto the cat/ test pipe

 

what my question is, why would you have to go catless on a big turbo setup? i know exactly what the dc dp/tp combo is

 

I think i will give that ebay downpipe a shot for a xmas gift. I'll let you guys know how it works out on my 9 MR.

 

i wasnt talking about going catless at all....apperently this went over your head
