What do you think of this downpipe?

[Alec]

I want to get more performance out of my MK3, my only exhaust upgrade currently is my RSR cat-back. I can't afford a BIC, what do you think of this downpipe? https://935motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=79_14_16_32&products_id=1435

What worries me is that it's not ceramic coated and it's stainless steel. The BIC is ceramic coated Aluminized steel.

 

[Mk3runner]

well you get what you pay for bro, BIC is well BIC... hand made per order.

 

[Alec]

lol, I'm 15 and jobless.

if you can save up for the 935 DDP, then why not wait it out for the BIC. people do sell them here from time to time for a fair price.

Because the BIC is like $650 and I want to save up for coilovers. If I get the BIC I probably wouldn't be able to get coilovers.

My DDP from BIC that has every option (ceramic coated, flex section, 2x threaded bungs) might be for sale soon as I don't want to chop it up for the new setup...I'll let you know.


Just my pennies but, YOUR 15 and have THAT car...you should just enjoy that impeccable example and build it when your older. The cost of the downpipe could pay for a bunch of first dates with some hotties with a car like that haha! Again just my .02

I don't know, I just thought it was a no-no to get a pipe that wasn't heat treated or ceramic coated.

^ +1 My stainless steel DP is fine, not divorced, but it works great. What your issue with SS?

Why would you be worried that its stainless steel? If its heat your worried about you could always get some VHT ceramic header paint and some exhaust wrap.

IIRC the only problems I remember hearing about them is sometimes the flange isn't completely true, and the flex section isn't in an ideal location. There was a thread on them a month or two ago.

lol, no issue. I just thought that it may increase underhood temps.

no,but you could wrap the pipe.

 

[Alec]

no,but you could wrap the pipe.

Does wrapping the pipe make that big of a difference? Didn't you say "bag the turbo"?

wraping does wonders for heat under hood
