ebay downpipe, really cheap.. less than 100 shipped. its 2.5 until right after flex then 3" outlet. Comes with gaskets and bolts. I have one that should be here later today... not from same exact seller, but looks the same. Ill put up some pics and evaluation later when it gets here, though someone may be lookin for a cheap dp like i was (stocker cracked and im low on cash).

The gain with the HKS downpipe isn't very much.

Looks like a Tanabe. Damn cheap for just a basic downpipe. 12 hp from a downpipe is pretty weak though. The BIC DDP is around a 75hp gain as I recall.

What?? The BIC DDP is around 75hp?? Are you serious? Just replacing stock DP with the BIC one = 75 (or even close!?) HP gain?? My 1JZ swpa should be done today or early next week, would it work for me? Damn, I'd buy it in a flash!

75 HP depending on your mods .....
i think i read somehwere like 30-40 hp gain with a new intake..some one correct me if im wrong....
i would get it, but i think is just to damn loud.....it gets annoying after a while....
if u like EXTREMELY loud than its for you....

look at the shipping cost on that thing 49.95...I hate when they do that.

 

[oscolivar1]

thats how they make money....

as compared to a $250-$350 dp, 90 shipped is great, and i already have a 3" elbow on there, a jblmk3 elbow. So it should be a decent gain still above stock since im broke im doin my exhaust piece by piece. Got the elbow real cheap, then the dp. Ill be on the market for a high flow cat next, then a catback

hey it just came.. looks good, welds look good and no visable probs... i took a couple pics, www.tmobilepictures.com/Xarewhyayen

You can also see a couple pics of my column mount custom gauge pod i started working on today there... N-Joy

 

[empera]

but yea are we puttin the dp on 2moro? and then hopefully fairmount...
hmm i dunno about that gauge pod, gotto see it in person.

I'm pretty sure if you do just the ddp it's somewhere in between 20-30hp if you do nothing else.

just a quick update, with this dp, and a jblmk3 3" elbow, I can hear the turbo start to spool around 1800-2000rpm.. hit 5lbs around 2300-2500... and full boost (10 psi) around 2700-3000 rpm.. a very noticeable difference in spool time and pull, and this is with stock 2nd cat&stock catback. Cant complain!!

bottleneck downpipes = dog crap

 

[mattjk]

I just installed that pipe. It hangs really low and I scrape everywhere!!!

My hks downpipe from 1994 rusted to crap so I got this one. It will have to do for now until I get a custom 3"

 

[xarewhyayen]

bottleneck downpipe=better than stock dp with cat.
