GB: Catless DPS

naenae · 11-15-2016, 08:24 PM

Found a UK manufacturer that sells em for pretty cheap. They fit RHD.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/181981945025

I'm currently in discussion with them to see if theyre willing to budge on price if i get 10 or more to commit to gb. plus share shipping would be good too.

Just buy them from aliexpress?

They fit and work just fine

naenae · 11-15-2016, 10:37 PM

trueeee. so no diff between lhd and rhd

DR-JEKL · 11-16-2016, 02:31 AM

Nah not AFAIK

AR's were LHD, but there were some issues with certain batches of them at some stage.

There have been a few guys locally in oz use the ali DP's, dont know anyone personally using them or if they're all like for like coming out of the same fab shop but those bay uk dp's looked exactly like the ali dp'

Low risk but the labour charge wont be low to install them twice.

Here's some of my thoughts on people who are looking at downрipes:

A lot of downрipes are 3", this is pretty useless as they all neck down to 2.5" anyway. This is done for marketing hype and offers no performance benefit. This just makes installation harder. Imo, you're better off getting pipes that are around 2.5" instead, it'll have a lot more clearance to the oilpan/subframe/engine mount and ensure there's no rubbing or rattles.

Note that even if they fit they can give headaches down the track, I just had to replace the rear o2 sensors on a car that had VRSF downpipes. Couldn't remove bank 2 o2 sensor without disconnecting the bank 1 downpipe out of the way. On my car with 2.6" Agency Power downpipes there was plenty of clearance to remove both rear o2 sensors, no stuffing around and didn't have to remove anything else.

Any brands offering decent 2.5" DP if that's the case?

Guys VRSF has 15% off all their products for the month of November,was thinking would be good timing to organise the GB on these instead as their dp's are known to have pretty much great fitment.. it's $305.99 usd atms even if we don't get anymore discount on it we can still save on shipping!

We can still ask Tiago to divide the shipment into 5 boxes if we get 10 people.. postage is $176.75 for 2 dp's which is about $88 usd per person.. it's more if you order for one item only

Anyone keen on this? Doesn't have to be particularly from this website. Im sure we can get it cheaper elsewhere or from wagner tuning directly if we do group buy.? 2.75 inch spec.
