any advice as to which downpipes to pair? also,,, would that void my warranty?

[bigdaddycane]

ummm, yeah.....it will. But they will have to prove it had direct affect on the part that needs to be fixed.

Search for Downpipes....plenty of info on this site.

Brands:
AR
CPe
Macht Schnell (sp?)

those are the upper tier ($$$) and there are many more ranging all the way down to $279 ebay downpipes.

remember, you get what you pay for.

I just got some cp-e dp's and they look very impressive. Not much talk about them on the forum for some reason. They are sitting in my living room anxiously awaiting some warm weather to be put on.

Do a search, there is a TON of info on the other name brands, specifically Active Autowerke, AR, the new iCarbon, and MS

From what we have experienced AR design downpipes are the real deal. They have OEM like fitment and superb build quality. We actually charge half an hour less when people come in with AR downpipes.

If you are in the market for them let me know and I can set you up with a good price.

I just bought myself some Active Autowerke 3inch downpipes from Mike@N54tuning. They are on a special introductory price of $544 down from like $700 I think. I still haven't received them so I can't comment on them, but from looking at the pictures they look very high quality, no doubt coming from AA.

I have the AA downpipes and the fitment is right on .

Many interesting options out there..

AR has been know for its fitment and quality.

Cp-e has its unqiue bellmouth casting up by the turbo inlet of the DP..

ETS's new downpipe have a built in flex pipe like OEM, and hanger like OEM, which is suppose to be a 100% fit. Quality looks up to par aswell. Very interesting.

I run a set of ETS Downpipes on my car and fitment is perfect. The downpipes accommodate all the factory benefits (flex section and mounting brackets)

Thanks!

Go with AR. ETS also seems to have a good product.

I just bought my Active Autowerke DPs from Mike for 544$... Pictures look good, and AA has a good reputation. I should be getting the package in 2 days

[poloace]

this would trash my warranty though, yeah?
