Down Pipe Question?

[QuickClipse2]

Where can i get a reasonably priced 2.5" down pipe that has a place to re-connect the O2 sensor?

my good ol' friend EBAY!

I hear Ebay is pretty sketchy when it comes to performance parts

you just have to know what your looking for! go out or online look at downpipes then just search ebay for em.

I've read good things about megan performance on ebay

My Tsudo down pipe that I got off ebay is great. It is all stainless with TIG welds and it goes from 2.5 to 3". I think It is the same as the Megan racing downpipe. Very good quality for the price.

Are you looking for a down pipe or are you looking for an O2 eliminator down pipe? There is a big difference. An 02 eliminator, as the name suggests, will eliminate your stock cast 02 housing. These are usually built to order and aren't usually cheap. Eliminator dps aren't a one size fits all deal.
If you are looking for a 2.5" mandrel bent DP to go from your stock cast 02 housing to your cat then there will be no need for any 02 sensor bungs because there are no 02 sensors in that part of the exhaust track. You will need to be specific in that you have a GST because the gst pipe has an offset, while I believe, the gsx does not, year for year.
Megan racing seems to be making some pretty good units for some pretty decent prices. They are on e-bay, search them on here and you will find quite a bit of reviews for them. FOr a relatively low price you will get a quality SS dp.

Did your Tsudo down pipe come with a connection for the 02 sensor? Were you able to install it yourself without welding or buying extra parts?

 

[miteclgst]

didn't you read my post???? 02 eliminator DPs have 02 connectors, regular ones do not. There is not 02 sensor in the DP, none. In the 02 housing yes, after the cat, yes. No DP, unless it is an 02 eliminator will come with an 02 bung.

My Tsudo down pipe was an O2 eliminator, but since I live in California I had my muffler guy weld in a high flow cat and an O2 bung. Other than that it fit very well and I am impressed with the quality of the downpipe.

Does the Megan Racing Down pipe replace the Cat with a straight pipe? I cant tell...

As per that picture it looks like it eliminates the cat.

translated into spanish pacesetter = BASURA.


keep your money. unless you own a VW bug (older) then stay away from pacesetter for anything.
