Thread: Downpipe question

Feel free to move this post, i wasn't exactly sure where to put it.

So I am getting a 3 inch downpipe within the next month, and I believe the most affordable stainless one ive seen is Hogans for $125 plus shipping. Im pretty tight with a guy that owns an exhaust shop locally that ive done all my work with and he said he'll do one for $150 including u-bend delete, resonator delete, and cat delete if i choose that route.

Then i read a "mod instruction" post where the guy suggests not having an exhaust shop do your downpipe....is this true?

Id be saving a lot of money by going with the exhaust shop most likely...

what are everyones thoughts? thank you

Sounds like a good deal if you wanted to remove you're resignator and cat.


Just make sure it puts a Flex setion in the dp that he makes. Sounds like nothing is going to be bolt up anymore though. Enless he uses the proper flange to bolt it up to the cat back still. If he is and you don't have a problem with everything being welded together then go for it.

Personally I would just get an off road mild steal downpipe from ZZP. The fit perfect and bolt right up. They will also get rid of the cat and u-bend. I would keep the resignator on. Most people don't like the raspy sound they get after removing them.

X2^^^^ But, it's whatever you feel like doing.

So you guys are saying if i get the zzp bolt on, then i wont have to have it installed? That is something i could do myself on a lift, correct?

Yep. I did mine in the driveway.
