N1 downpipe options
Was checking out NOPI and saw they have two N1 dowpipes; one they say is for the GST and one for the GSX. According to their specs the one for the GSX has a slightly larger diameter. Does anyone know if there is any reason the GSX version would not work on a GST? Is it just that it no longer becomes a "direct" bolt-on?
TIA Erik

Re: N1 downpipe options
No idea why the difference of diameter pipe, but AWD will not work on FWD and vice versa.

Re: N1 downpipe options
Hey Thor, thanks for the reply. Not to be a PITA but can you tell my why it won't work? I'm just curious to understand what the difference is between AWD and FWD when it comes to the downpipe.

Re: N1 downpipe options
Pipes are shaped and routed differently.

Re: N1 downpipe options
Im not sure but I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but I think the AWD downpipe has to be able to clear the transfer case and driveshaft and what have you, where the FWD doesn't.

Re: N1 downpipe options
Different drivetrains/axle set ups= different bends/pipe routes

Re: N1 downpipe options
I would also check with maybe megan racing. Because I know before most pipe shad a problem fitting properly and megan was actually working to resolve that issue.

Re: N1 downpipe options
I think that was 2g AWD only. We had no problems with my buddy Mike's megan DP.
