Downpipe

[mattbolt]

Has anyone had any experience with this downpipe?

was wanting a nice set up from the turbo to my current cat back system. Don't wanna spend earth shattering prices tho.

Was wandering if this will fit and how well it will perform.

Any comments or suggetstions would be appreciated

If your map doesnt suit a decat then it will throw a CEL.

I dont think it'll fit either.

this one has been covered quite a bit, and a few people bought them to find they didnt fit. Its a "no go" im afraid!

Yeah have a quick search and you will find that they don't fit, very poor quality and a waste of money.

nice one cheers for that. I have been searching around butcouldn't find the info i needed.

So other than the Milteck downpipe or is there really anyhthing else that is below £200?

not sure on blueflame price on just the sports cat, but i know that they sell the complete turboback system for £525 which is very good value for money

They do the downpipe without cat for 200 notes as well.

not bad. I have a custom cat back system already so simply looking for the downpipe. How much of a gain would tyou think i would get? As you can see below the car has been remapped etc already.,

im just wandering whether its worth it for the power i will gain

Will see slight improvement but as said you have have to have it remapped to ignore the second lambda sensor after the cat or it will flag the eml light on with fault codes because it will think the cat isnt working correctly.
