Tomei Downpipe vs UR downpipe

Hi guys... I have order all bolt on's from ETS but the only issue is the downpipe because my car is a RHD so Ι have come to these options http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-ca...ponent_en.html and http://www.ultimate-racing.com/Produ...ngDP-RHD.shtml I think that the Tomei downpipe is a high quality product with good numbers in power gains (like they said) but in the other hand the UR downpipe has a divorced o2/housing that is better in power gains ( according to my search ) but I don't know if it works as well as the regular LHD downpipe from UR because of the harder tighter angle after o2/ housing cause of tight space of a RHD car. What do you believe is the best option for me?
Thanks in advance.

UR products, especially their downpipes, are well known for cracking at the welds. Fitment is good, but their welds are questionable. Before ordering at least have this discussion with them and see what steps have been done to correct this issue.

I have a RHD UR dp, looks like mine is different to the earlier versions that cracked so I'd say they re-engineered it, but like Kracka said check with them. I note the dp turbo flange was not ground flat which I had to get done by a machinist which pissed me off ...may have been a 1-off but had I fitted it as-is it would never have sealed...probably recommend you get a Tomei DP.
