Where to get a 3" downpipe for a 1g awd

[slow_talon]

Hey to all of you guys I was wondering where would be a good idea to get a 3" downpipe for my 1g awd talon.

Rre.

The RRE downpipe is garbage. I had one on my tsi and my brother had one on his galant. The welds are garbage, and it is not a true 3 inch pipe. I have a victory performance 3" o2 eliminator downpipe and I like it a lot. There are a lot of other manufacturers worth looking into also. You can search and find lots of info about other manufacturers downpipes, as well as the leaky rre downpipes.

welds look adequate to me and i got mine last week or so.

besidesm did you really port your o2 housing out to a full 3" diameter?
if not then what's the point of having 3" from the flex forward other than even more headaches?

O2 eliminator means THERE IS NO O2 HOUSING. The downpipe goes all the way to the turbo. I'd go with one of those systems that diamond star motorsport sells. They are priced cheap and look pretty nice.

I just ordered my downpipe from RRE. I got the one that bolts up to the evo3 o2 housing, hopefully its in good shape.

The rre pipes leak, it's a well known fact. When I purchased mine I could see light bewteeen the flange and the pipe. I rewelded it and it last about 6 months and the flex section started coming apart. They blamed it on my motor mounts, but since I was running poly mounts I don't see how that could have been possible. I have switched up downpipes and I have been running my current one for about a year with no problems (and the same motor mounts)

i went on ebay and picked up a 2g awd 3'' megan racing downpipe for my 1g fits almost perfect any exhaust shop can get it to fit right up and it's 3'' all the way through none of this 2 3/4 garbage

What kind of fitting was needed to make it work??

 

[jasoncitrano]

no fitting needed the only problem i had was the pipe itself after the flexpipe section hit the frame a little so the guy just used a grinder and took grounded down a small quarter size section so the pipe fit up flush thats it, other then that it bolted right up.
