1G Best Downpipe for your buck?

[black9d1tsiawd]

Anyone? I know Exhaust Depot has 1 for 169, but is there any other "good" ones where your not paying for a stupid name?

I am just looking for the best performance for the buck.

So far Exhaust Depot's is the 1 I am picking. Anyone else have any comments, idea's or any input?

Thanks

probably the rsr I got mine for 135. it's 2.5-2.75 after the flex section no cat.

 

[black9d1tsiawd]

rsr?

 

[laserturbo91]

where did you get the rsr at?

 

[20gst]

I got mine from VRS a little ad in the back pages of Turbo magazine. I paid $200.00 for 3'' came with all new gaskets and the off road pipe, flex section and it fits perfectly, all mandrel bent too........

I don't think RSR makes a DP for the 1g. Personally, I would go with a RnR DP. I think they are $185 for the 2.5" and $210 for the 3", but you are getting what you pay for and then some.

RNR? 3" o2 eliminator dp..

 

[Blitzed95Eclips]

ebay 3in one. i got mine for about 130. It bolts up perfect comes with everything and it sounds nice.

 

[Megaman]

i have rnr's 2.5 o2 elim dp

 

[jbillakdsm]

how do you like that 2.5 O2 elim pipe? I just ordered it from RnR and I hope it's worth the money.

 

[JJ1224]

Does the RNR have a cat bypass or does it connect onto the stock catalyc convertor? Also is it stainless steel/steel or alum?

Apexi has pretty good downpipes as well. You can generally find them for $180-$200.

yeah i was looking at the ebay 3" for 129$. sez its mandrel bent. i figure a downpipe is a downpipe. why need to spend any extra? does anyone have input on this downpipe?

 

[NewB2dsm]

I have the exhuast depot one and i like it. Good welds and bends. I dont see a problem with it.

i bought a pacesetter downpipe for 175 and it is supprisingly well built, i know everyone thinks pacesetter is shit and i did too. the cat back i got for my prelude had cheap ass paint on it that flaked off when i took it out of the box. but this down pipe is nice its 3inch and came stainless steel. although i have yet to put it on, still waiting for the rnr o2 housing........still waiting

I just ordered the 3" O2-eliminator downpipe plus a cat from RnR. The have a "Cat eliminator" option on that which just extends the downpipe all the way to the catback, if that's your thing, but I need to pass emissions. Stainless steel is another option that I got (aluminized steel is the default, but I live in Chicago...salt capital of the USA). I'll probably post pics when it gets here/gets on the car.

Ok, guys, remember he is looking for a DP for a 1g and there are not as many companies out there that make DPs for the 1g. I once again will push my vote for RnR. They make quality stuff and the price is right. They make just about anything you want for the 1g and will work with you so that you are happy. They do make one that works with the stock cat and also with a high flow in the 2.5", I'm not sure if they can make their 3" work with the stock cat. but I doubt it since no other company does, but you never know till you ask.

Anyone got a link to RnR?

i got my Apexi 3' Downpipe from NOPI.com for 220 and that was with shipping included.

 

[MrPikolo]

Heh make your own. Cheaper if you have to tools.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

if it was so simple to make ur own and everybody had the tools.. i think everybody would be making their own or someone make a very detailed specification sheet for all types 2.5-3" fwd/awd 1g/2g etc and post it up so we can have it brought and made to local muffler shops.. that would be cheaper too..

 

[MrPikolo]

heh, i can give you some pics after I do mine. I got the tools, and since i'm a cheap hick I will figure out a way to do it.

 

[brcewane]

Could you not just go to an exhaust shop.. pull of the stock pipe and say "I want this, only in 2.5inch mandrel bends".

 

[Davidle]

It's up to you what you want to do to save money, but imo I would get Mandrel Bent Pipes. If you have a local muffler shop press bent a pipe, you wont gain as much hp as you would with Mandrel Bent. Click on the link and read.
