Just done some looking around 42 Draft Designs came out with a 3" downpipe, with or without the cat for the 180, just thought I would let you guys know, here are the prices and some info:

Street Series Downpipe - $375 (with high flow cat)
Race Series Downpipe - $300(without cat)
Additional Test Pipe - $50

"Each series of downpipe is available with a choice of 3 adaptors - stock 2.150", 2.5" or 3", to connect to your cat back exhaust.

there website says 180's aren't coming out til spring '07, not sure where you got that info from???

 

nvm, my car is a 180 quattro, thats what i was thinking, yeah they got em for the FWD

 

Please fogive the"newbie" type question, but what is the difference between the down pipe your showing above and the ones on ebay for like $80? I'm sure there has to be some differences....however I have found in alot of other fields non-car related that apples are apples...just some charge more.


Thanks for the help!

You can get a ebay 2 piece dp like that and have a race pipe and then buy the 42dd cat and exhaust adapter and still only spend ~$200. Be a nice investment for those keeping ko3's

 

got a link to these ebay 2-pieace downpipes? do they fit 180 quattros?

i dont think so, its a little to strait.

 

Or you can have a friend with some welding skills whip one up for the cost of materials.
