o2 downpipe really worth it?

have a chance to pick up an ultimate racing dp for about 250. Are the gains of this piece worth it. I'm looking for around 360whp. My current mods are a 3inch test pipe and cat back, as well as a drop in filter. is this worth it or should i put the money elsewhere

The shop I spoke with told me that they give very minimal gains on a stock turbo, but when you begin to upgrade the turbo to an FP Red or so, it'll give you much better gains. I would recommend getting a UICP as the stock one is junk. However, the price is decent for the o2 downpipe. With full bolt ons, you might now get 360 whp.

I put the AMS cast downpipe on my X to plan ahead for future turbo upgrade, but even on stock turbo it seemed to make some difference in power.

Shoot me a PM with any questions or to purchase.

You will notice a gain with a good o2/downpipe. The biggest bang for your buck right now, would be upping the boost/tuning it.

I've seen a few that have cracked, but you can always get it ceramic coated.
