alright mr passenger performance...i want a downpipe. pm me please.
i've purchased three 2.5" downpipes from dave and its great to have the option of going to him instead of doing it yourself or getting hosed by TT. its too bad you're discontinuing the 2.5" mild steel versions. i second the idea of keeping them as an option, but raising the price. i personally would not be all that interested in a 3" stainless pipe. holds no benefit over 2.5" dia for me, the 2.5" booms loud enough 3" would be a cannon, and i wouldn't be able to justify paying for stainless at what, $3-4/Ib + additional fab time/cost, instead of mild steel which is all i need at ~$0.75/Ib. i'm glad you're expanding but i'd still like to be able to get the old pipes in the future. good luck whichever way you go!
I understand that it cost alot to manufacture these with materials and labor. And you've heard this 1000 times but it would be very hard for me to pay that much for a DP. One of the main reasons i drive a VW is because it is cheaper.
