The newer Helix clears the oil pan pretty good. Very impressive unit if I might add.

 

I am very happy with my Megan Racing downpipe, for $140 shipped I couldn't have went wrong. This thing is a full 3" with no reducers and clears everything under the EVO. It is triple polished stainless steel with a finish that still looks good after 2 months. For the price I don't know why anyone would want to buy a different downpipe.

Then I got a 3" Catco high-flow cat and welded 3" flanges onto it for a total cost of $60. My Catback is a full 3" which is also stainless and has no muffler to Magnaflow 3.5" tip. Total cost of the catback was $150 which was done at my local muffler shop. There is one part in the entire catback where a pressbend appears to bring down flow, and in this area the measured width was 2.87" so it isn't even that bad of a bend.

That makes my total Turboback exhaust come in at $350.00, it sounds great, never rattles, and fits just like stock. I also have a 3" test-pipe that costed me $20.00 to make, although I haven't raced the car yet so I see no reason to install it.

With a little patience anyone could have this exhaust and some extra money left over to do some other mods

 

Which model Catco cat was that?

 

Universal 6007, although I cut the hanger off

 

Does anyone own the SP Engineering DP? Does it have any fitament issues with clearing the lower tie bars?

 

Looks like WORKS finally released their 3" DP. Ceraminc and SS.

 

does anyone currently have the tanabe dp? pro's? con's? sound clip? thanks!

 

Anyone try any 80MM downpipes yet ??

 

Will the HKS 2.75" downpipe + a UR high flow 3" cat and the HKS 3" hi-power catback exhaust bolt up correctly? Does anyone else have this setup. I was just wondering about the fitment and how it sounded. I have a 3" turboback w/cat-delete and i want something a little quieter and better fitment.

 

Why would you want 2.75"? If you want to quiet it down make sure the muffler your using isnt a straight through design. Also make sure the mid-pipe has a resonator. All of this will help much in quieting your car done. What kind fo system do you have now?

 

I have the buschur 3" turboback w/cat delete and magnaflow muffler. I just want a sporty tone. Im kinda new to this so im not exactly sure what i need to get what im looking for.

 

True.dat

I just got mine last monday - swapped out my old Helix DP for it.

 

I plan on making evo downpipes for evo 8s. 3" ss with ss flanges as well and tig welded. I will have reasonable pricing also. If anyone would be interested give me a yell cause I need to know what kind of market I could have building these bad boys. thanks, Daniel

 

How does it feel compared to the helix? Performance and sound difference?

 

Unless you think you can beat the price of a Megan Racing downpipe ($150 shipped) you may not have much of a market. Not being a vendor or having any history you would be taking a chance to develop products for any market. It would takes good reviews and good advertising to make your product sell itself.
