I'm sure this has been covered, so my apologies.

Does a the B6 1.8TQM Borla exhaust ship with a downpipe?

As for the cheaper Cat Back's...Which do you prefer:

Magnaflow

Neuspeed

Borla

Again, didn't mean to offend anyone, just looking for some quick answers. Thanks Guys.

 

The Borla system does not include a downpipe and If I had to choose a system out of the 3, it would be the magnaflow. Simply for the exhaust tips used.

 

I went with Borla, because I wanted a more "refined" sound. I didn't want to sound like a ricer, and the Borla is on a whole other level.

 

Borla DOES come with the down pipe, I installed mine about a month ago. I would recommend that you get a HFC along with it cause the new exhaust will pull your old cat apart and I do mean pull apart.

 

A downpipe is the component connecting the turbo and exhaust really. I consider that cat immediately after the turbo a sort of downpipe. Anything afterwards would not be called a downpipe. Therefore, the BORLA system does not come with a downpipe unless they supplied you with the cat immediately following the turbo.

Hence why its called a "cat-back" system.

 

ok i just ordered a cat back borla system and it does come with the down pipe here you go and stop saying it doesent when in fact it does

14845 (complete cat back system with downpipe)

 

The downpipe actually starts from the the cat.

 

Hmm, it would have helped to know what A4 is being asked about, which is a B5. My bad.

Anyways.

Whatever vendor you copied that quote from is incorrect. Vendors sometimes do that without knowing. So, I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt. I'm not going to chase this bunny down the hole. All I'm gonna say is:

1-877-GO-BORLA

Then you'll understand.

 

Man someone really needed to get the last word in huh?

 

No, I just feel it's my duty to keep the public informed with accurate info [sm=smiley16.gif]
