-----

Some info about the pipes from ar design's website!

Our Hi-Flo™ 3" Catless Downpipes Feature:

The only TRUE 3" catless downpipes currently on the market! 3" tubing until cat-back flange - all systems currently on the market reduce to 2.5" much closer to the turbocharger.

100% Hand Crafted in the USA - not China - from premium 304 stainless steel - flanges and O2 bungs included!

Water-jet cut 304 Stainless cat-back flanges, and CNC'd 304 Stainless V-Band flanges.

100% TIG welded, argon back-purged.

Set of our exclusive bomb-proof exhaust gaskets included.

Grade 10.9 Metric Hardware(145,000PSI tensile strength, C32-C39 Rockwell, Zinc Plated), and Nord-Lock positive locking re-usable washers included.
Factory location O2 bungs

Lifetime warranty against any manufacturing defects given to original owner.

We do NOT grind/polish our welds as some other manufacturers do. Grinding welds compromises the strength of the weld, and can lead to weld failure - especially critical in applications exposed to temperatures in excess of 1200°F. Such temperatures will also rapidly deteriorate the polished finish.

Try finding a 3" catted downpipe with our level of quality. You can get cheaper, but you can't get better

Mike, what are the gains on these downpipes?

Secondly, how much is it for pickup in Toronto?

Thanks!

If you are picking up its FREE shipping LOL

Just the price of the pipes..

Gains depend on what you have on the car. If you have a tune I think you are looking at 10-20hp/tq, and the ability to run hotter maps.

Andrew can chime in and give a more detailed response. I am ordering a set as well so I am very excited about these

If you have catless downpipes, you will need O2 sims of some sort

Andrew will be better at answering this question but I believe the AR pipes don't really trip the O2 fault codes, especially pre 29.2!

Andrew can you clarify for us
