42dd is coming out with one sometime this spring

 

Probably not, Evan posted a note on Vortex a couple of weeks ago, that he was overloaded with all of his other projects and had put on hold the development of a 180 Quattro DP.

 

where exactly do you get a 42dd downpipe for the 225? I looked around but only see 180 down pipes...and the 42dd site does not work...

 

So how bout that 180TT quattro 3" downpipe... yall should definately make one... you got one buyer here depending on what i find out tomorrow morning... i might have found a shop in San Luis Obisbo here in cali...

 

Yeap, he posted that in response to my post Said it's on the back burner for a while, My plan is to buy an Ebay one, then order up some aluminum mandrel bends and take it to my local welder and have him cut the ebay one and add the extra turns. That way he doesn't have to worry about the flanges for the turbo or the overall length, he just needs to add the extra corners to get around the Quattro stuff I just can't decide on a 2.5 or a 3inch. It's only going to be on there about a year until I do the big turbo anyway you know.

 

Man I feel sorry for you guys, but looks like Cincy has a good plan, try to get something custom done that will perfom well.

 

So a downpipe from a FWD will work on a Quattro with modification to make it bend around driveshaft area? How hard is it to do that and what tools are needed. Also does anyone know how much a new OEM one might cost from dealer?

Thanks
Andrew

 

That is not going to happen, there is no way you can take a DP from a FWD and bend it to fit onto the Quattro, its going to either have to be something custom put together, or get one from a junkyard, or the dealership. I dont know how much it would cost from them, but im sure someone here can give you a close price.

 

They're right, mate - don't try to make a square peg fit a round hole. Any reputable muffler shop can fabricate you one. Depending on the shop's reputation pretty much dictates their price.

 

i bought a crap ebay pipe just to see how it fit on the 180ttq and it doesnt come close. i go the one with the flex pipe at the top of it. the flex pipe hit the driveshaft. the other ones that have the flex pipes down farther by the cat might be adapted. but why. I'm trying to have a run of 6 pipes made for the 180ttq at a preety good price. look at the post, its recent.
