Downpipes, which one should I get?

[julioroman]

Hey guys, I've been thinking of getting a downpipe for my 2010 spd3. However, I don't want to blow over 500 bucks on one. Any one have/try out the TurboXS or ATP pipes? Does anyone have other recomendations?

The big difference between the two you listed and the more expensive options, is that DP's like the CP-E and Cobb can be had with high flow cats. So the big question is, are you Al Gore, or Bill Clinton?

I'm definatly more of a Bush senior/Reagan type. Screw that environment crap and hybrids.

PS

I'm trying to lose the cat on the downpipe.

have you looked at Ultimate Racing? I'm running there catted DP, build quality is awesome.

I think there catless can be had for around $300

How much is race pipe for gen2? Gen1 is cheap, I'd do em both at the same time.

I think the UR one is 149$. I'd probably get both the DP/RP from them if that's the route you're going.

^ ditttttto DP+RP you will fly..

[TRex]

cp-e released their gen2 yet? because that replaces both pieces...that is why it is so expensive...the 500 dollars is getting you a dp and a testpipe....

after installing 4 downpipes...
two cpe, one corksport, and one turboxs, for those worried about ease of install, the shorty's are much easier to install.

philly, what's the hardest part of the install in general? My stock DP is being welded soon and I wanted to take it off myself. Before I spend a bunch of time and broken fingers figured you'd be able to give some tips.

i just did a write up on the dp uninstall/install.
how to: mazdaspeed3 downpipe
tricky shit - the clips for the o2 sensors.
removing the bracket that holds the dp to the block.
and removing the heat shielding.
