Pipewerx downpipes to standard system

[rickyquicky]

To everybody running a pipewerx downpipe to standard system, did it fit straight away using just the exhaust sleeve/clamp thing to mate them up?

I have a pipewerx downpipe, my mechanic attempted to fit it and said it is about 2 foot too short.

It has the reducer built in, but when the old downpipe is removed the join is far back near the rear wheels, the pipewerx downpipe doesn't stretch far enough to mate up to it.

Is there supposed to be another pipe to link the 2? Or are they usually long enough to reach and I have the wrong one?

Youve probably sorted it by now, but..

I had a standard downpipe fitted to a Milltek cat-back, then fitted a Pipewerx downpipe instead. I obviously had to cut the reducer off the Pipewerx but otherwise the joins for exhaust were in the same place as standard downpipe..

Id think the downpipe settings are programmed into the bender or whatever, so every one should be identical!?

I had a straight bit of pipe 1.5' long which went from my 3" Pipewerx to standard system with a rolled reduced section in it... sold for 99p on ebay! lol

Anyone fitted a 3' decat of ebay to a standard system? (Toyosports etc)

I know when I had my mk4 I had to get an extra bit of pipe fitted.

Are they the same for the mk5, or a direct fit?

Cheers Si

I have got the toyosports one and was a perfect fit, straight to the standard exhaust with no issues. Sounds brilliant too, just fancy a bit more noise, and you can barely hear it at all when cruising or not on boost.

Cheers mate, will look at these

Toyosports I would say really good
I fitted one to my mates 8p tfsi
Great fitment sounds good
Seemed really good quality

How much louder are they when mated to a standard cat back are they and is there any drone?

[aarondsg]

No drone whatsoever
Sounds no different on normal driving
Then when you plant your foot down sounds amazing!

Hi There,

Just looking at the Toyosport down pipe, have you experienced any issues regarding emissions at MOT time? (Just for a down pipe + standard system)

Thanks,

Irfan

[aarondsg]

Of course it will fail an emissions test there is no cat there mate it is a decat
if you know a tester some are Ok as long as car is safe elsewhere

[akbarirfan]

Ok thanks buddy, just thought there may have been some more CATs along the standard exhaust system after the downpipe that could sort that out 

[aarondsg]

There is two but the Toyosports deletes both!
It runs all the way back to your backbox
Great bit of kit

Ok new to this so real n00b question here, where does the pipe connect to? Is it the turbo, and then straight through to the standard backbox? (If so, seems good for the money, last miltek TBE I saw for the GTI was over £1000!!)

Is a reducer or anything to that effect needed at any stage?

Might check these guys out next time in in Birmingham (not that I have a Golf yet  )

Thanks

Turbo to OEM cat back (only the down pipe - hence thread title)

Piperwerx mates with OEM cat back without reducer
