Searching for Down Pipes
Gents,
I'm looking for 3" down pipes that attach from the turbos to the converter. I know Weistec has them for over $3K, which seems excessive to me.
Does anyone have another source you could recommend that has good product at a lesser price?
I'd appreciate any assistance on here or in PM.

The only company i have seen that has that is weistec. I remember when I was searching for the same I came across a few posts that said the pipes that attach to the turbos are fine for the power levels the car has with a stage 2 tune, upgraded turbos you will need to change them. I just went with the regular down pipes.

1- did you notice any gains with the regular (mid) down pipes?
2- did you do with or without cats and main resonator?
3- if without, how was the sound?

1. Noticed gains for sure with the regular downpipes.
I have the kleeman catless dp on my car and yes you need to add the bigger center resonator back on the car and keep the stock mufflers or get the top speed pro exhaust (thats what i did).
I had 3 configurations catless dp back straight back to stock mufflers was too raspy at wot but sounded great under part throttle. I had the catless dp and stock resonator and stock mufflers had a little grunt but was muffled. Final setup catless dp to the top speed pro exhaust, sounded the best has a good rumble no rasp and wakes up when you get into the throttle. You can also hear the turbos a lot more
