3" downpipe
« on: June 21, 2011, 08:55:59 pm »
Hi there guys. Recently tried to sell my 3" diwnpipe, but after a friend said he would have it but then let me down, I am now reconsidering getting it fitted to my ko3 gti with a stage 2 map.

The only thing putting me off is that the downpipe has a build on reducer to mate up with the oem cat back. Will this give me a bottleneck effect??

Has anyone fitted the same sort of system. If so does it have any effect on performance.
Admin notice, sig pic removed for being to big.

I have a cone reducer to take my DP down to the standard 2.5". I made 280.5bhp on a Dyno Dynamics RR so it will be fine.

Lots of people only have a dp reduced to mate with the oem exhaust.
