Any opinions on downpipes
« on: May 26, 2011, 05:55:44 pm »
About to have to purchase a new downpipe for my GLX/AHU conversion. Looking at both the Techronics and idparts ones. Anyone have any comments or other choices

I don't feel too bad as other than the purchases of the cars I will be using, I don't have any other real expense on doing this conversion.

I would go with the tech tuning one. The other one is only 2" and I would think eventhough they say it flows better I am sure the 2.25" flows way better.
