Downpipe :)

Post by Chris.T_pologti »

Hey fellas need your help! I am working towards stage 2! I have got a Fmic and a millteck cat back exhaust! I am contemplating what best for the Downpipe! Buy a millteck or get a custom 3 inch one fitted and made for cheaper?!? Anybody else run this set up! Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks chris

custom would be cheaper than getting a milltech downpipe sports cat. wouldn't get a 3inch downpipe tho as the milltech is 2.5inches. when i changed my standard downpipe for a milltech, my car felt so much less restrictive through the rev range.

I know this sounds really "chavvy" but I really want it to pop and bang! Will I get it with a 2.5 inch?? Is there any disadvantages to getting a 3 inch??

if you get a 3inch you will have to get a reducer to 2.5 and it can become messy. apparently when the polos are stage 2 mapped with a miltek system and sports cat they pop and bang, will see when i map mine if its true :D

In running a stage 2 with the standard clutch seems fine :)
