The discoloration you see is from being partially bead blasted to try and get off the stupid stickers that come on the u and j bends I buy. These downpipes are bolt on and ready to go.
-
I find WD-40 is helpful in getting the stickers off and doesn't hurt the aluminized coating.
-
Thats exactly what I use, I just wanted to blast the stuff off of there cause I was already blasting some other parts.
-
Here's the downpipe with heat resistant black finish:

when do you expect to have the Mk3 1.9 version done. Or, where I'm planning to put a kkk24 on my 1.9, should I use the Mk2 version?
-
I went from a MK2 Jetta TD to a MK3 Golf TD and the complete exhaust system from the MK2 bolted right on the MK3 with the exact same fitment & clearances.
However, both vehicles have 1.6s... the header on a 1.9 block may be posititioned higher. Anyway there's a MK3 1.9 TD that's local and wants to come in for GTD injector nozzles so Passenger could fabricate a downpipe then.
-
If your other customer doesn't come through, PM me, I'm in Burnaby and have a 1.9.
I notice you don't have a flex joint on the pipe as the stocker does. Do you forsee any problems with a rigid setup?
-
A flex pipe is definitely recommended. The reason why there's an extra foot at the end of the downpipe is to give a local muffler shop more flexibility while connecting the rest of the exhaust system after downpipe installation.. and they usually can provide adapters + flex pipes that fits both ends of the exhaust (whatever size it is). Some people go 2.5" straight through. I have 3" after the downpipe. Passenger can sell adapters + flex pipes separately in various sizes upon request.
-
Mark-
I think the 1.9 TD market should definitely be worth pursuing. I'd seriously consider one but it would have to be stainless.
There is a shop in Kitchener that carries stainless flex joints so I've got that part covered.

-
any word on when we can expect stainless?
-
you should make a turbo back exhaust.
when most people try to cover an aftermarket application, they provide everything for that praticular item. for instance, if you go to flyinmiata.com they sell a complete exhaust, among other things.
sence the downpipe is probably the hardest part of the whole exhaust, why not just finish the job and offer it as a complete exhaust system? the rest of the system shouldnt be muc more work, and throw a flowmaster on the back or something.
-
the flip side of that is, since the rest of the exhaust system is easier to make or have done at a shop, many people would rather just buy the downpipe alone. PP isn't in the exhaust business, they are in the TD performance business (as far as i know), so they provide only the part of the system that is specific to TD cars... the rest of the exhaust system is standard and easily available elsewhere.
now how about stainless!!? :lol:
-
PP: has my pipe been shipped?
paypal was sent dec 19th and i haven't received anything yet.
-
Blacktie, and others that ordered dp's in that last 2 weeks, sorry there was a mixup at the shop, but it has been resolved the dp's will be shipped tomorrow afternoon! Sorry guys, its been really busy here!
-
this would be perfect for my future setup, I'm thinking of running 2.5 " or larger and I HATE :evil: those damn C clamps on the MK2 downpipes.
The site is down right now, so if anyone had one or two PM me and I would grab two...
-
I ordered a ceramichromed one for my Caddy. I can't wait ! :D
-
hey can someone who bought this let us know what they think of their spend!!???
Would they please take pics.... the pics in page one are not working for me...
Im very interested in 2.5" DP to Toronto
thanks in advance,
-J

This is mine. It was on a 1.6TD at first, but I've just finished a killer 2 liter AAZ build and the pipe fit right on (same T3 turbo). It's the best money you can spend. I backed mine up with a 2.5" custom system and Magnaflow muffler.

Ive been looking at a fresh re-build 1.6L TD with a broken ass downpipe sitting on my engine stand for a month or more now and it's killing me!
How Long did you wait to get yours from moment of payment?
What would you say is the rough estimate of gains while using this raw dope ass pipe :twisted: over the stock 1" or whatever size it is version :lol:
Would you recomend it?
Total price in Canadian dollers spent?
-
DEFINITELY worth the money, though I do have a stock downpipe and bracket if you need one. Delivery was about 3 weeks but worth the wait. However, the builder is presently in the hospital, so you may have to wait a while. Mine was a bit more than most as it is ceramichromed.
The turbo spools quicker and runs way cooler. Figures are hard to give as I went from a stock downpipe and NA exhaust to this downpipe with a 2.5" exhaust. The difference felt like twice the horsepower, but that may have been the choking effect of the stock exhaust.

Ive read everything about these downpipes in all the posts and im defonatley getting one...
It's very unfortunate that the builder is in hospital, I am going to save my chips and hopfully by the time hes better I can order a downpipe and intake mani....
thanks for your good words and advice on that product! Sometimes it can be hard to tell over the net what your getting into when buying something not avalible in storefront!

HI,
Just been reading the thread about the large bore downpipes for the IDI engine, 2 questions
1 I have a MK2 1.6 GTD with a T2 Turbo fitted as standard, would this downpipe fit my engine.
2 I am in the Royal Air Force currently serving at Basrah Air Station in sunny Iraq, would you be able to send a pipe via the British Forces Postal Service ? its normal post to the UK, just sent out to me in Iraq.
And before any one asks yes we do get rocketed on a regular basis.... averiging 4-7 in a 24 hour period..... :(
-
I too am interested in one of these pipes, My 1.6 TD has a watercooled K14, would it bolt onto this downpipe? Also regarding postage to Ireland, would I have to pay tax?

if its anything like here in Ontario Canada, we don't pay tax on stuff we don't buy in Ontario. but elsewhere in Canada we pay GST.
-

-
