Message : Its obvious for the reasons previously stated that yes the downpipes will be better. But to make the statement "WAY" better, I wish someone could back up these claims. Tell me, are they $400 better than gutting the pre-cats (which are a free mod)??

: Thanks.

: : even gutted, the precats are still restrictive because of the design of the openings and the sharp bends they take. downpipes have smoother bends and have a constant diameter all the way throughout to allow more flow.

: : : I need to know if Downpipes are the same performance as gutted PRe-cats on a TT?

> there is such a huge difference in diameter and flow that there HAS to be a diffence in performance. I would say the difference should be more noticeable at higher boost settings and larger turbos ie more airflow. At say stage 3 or so I bet there isnt a whole lot of difference between the two, but once you start really flowing some air, the downpipes have to make a big difference...as you look at the two designs just imagine water flowing through them and imagine which would allow more water to flow faster through it...
