downpipe off of ebay

i would like to hear some peoples feedback about the N/A downpipes on ebay, because i'm really liking the price of them compared to others.

Dont do it. The ebay downpipes are built wrong. Do it right or dont do it at all.

well SOME are built wrong. but i don't think any of them (ebay ones) have a flex section. i've seen a few of them, and they look good. i know of one that broke b/c the guy had awful motor mounts, and b/c there was no flex section in the downpipe.

basically, you get what you pay for. 3SX, IPS, and Dynamic Racing all sell quality downpipes.

the ones on there at the moment do have flex pipe sections

this is the DP i was looking at, around $130

And if you look its built wrong. The rear bank pipe is flowing AGAINST the flow of the front bank. Not good at all.

well said.. that pipe looks like it will help you loose power

yea good point, could it be turned around?

Not without extensive work.

what would need to be done?... cut it off with a plasma cutter and turn it around and re-weld?

If you just did that then its not longer going to be in the right place to mate up with the rear manifold. Youd have to cut it, cut out further back, weld it in and add a piece where the hole is going to be from the now missing piece. SO not worth it.

yea, which brand would you recommend?

Ive got a 3sx one and loveit.

ok, good deal...i'll start saving up for it

there is some ebay ones that ppl love i got mine off ebay for my TT though and ppl recommend this guy like no other so on tues/wed we will know..

but 3sx and ATR <think thats the name jegs is selling them again and ppl used to praise though and they had no flex soo....

i know this probably cant be done, but could you convert a tt DP to use on a non turbo?

Nope, totally different

yea thats what i was thinkin

does the DP come included with the long tube headers from 3sx?

well the 3sx-long tube headers kind of get rid of the DP, connecting the heads straight to the cat or test pipe

but to answer your question, yes.

you can either have:
1. headers(short-tube) and DP, or
2. longtube headers

ok, i was looking at the picture on the product page and it looked a little different than a DP
