advise on this exhuast/decast downpipe
 

hi guys looking at these items, now i know i can get something puka from miltek etc etc but im on a budget and not looking to push more then 250bhp in the end. so as i dont have the spare cash for a turbo, intercooler and injectors i wanted to start with the exhaust.

this is the decat downpipe

i understand its not going to be the top grade stainless other big companys provide but as i say for now im on a budget and not looking for any thing super duper just something better over standard while increasing flow and on boost sound.

cheers

Quality looks decent, welds look good, I'd say go for it. The diameter of that test pipe appears to be a bit smaller than other brands I've seen, but if you don't plan on upgrading to a larger turbo it prolly won't matter.

i emailed and got a reply, stating " The system is from the downpipe section back and varies in size from 2inch to 2.3 inch."

thinking this is to small.

and reply from downpipe seller

"The diameter of the pipes are standard and would fit a audi a4 b5 1.8turbo"


so im thinking for what it costs being £362 could i get a custom decat down pipe and system for that price? any places i can get a system and down pipe. dont mind spending £100 more to get a 3" decat to downpipe and 2.5" system

2" is smaller than the stock exhaust lol. I'd look somewhere else.

after looking, i cant find any thing any were other then usa

Testpipe Test-Pipe Downpipe Audi Passat 1.8T B5 B6 A4 | eBay

but even that one says 2.5 then to 3"

every were else is £300+ which is alot for a foot of pipe.

plan b is were can i find the flanges for the turbo and down pipe? maybe make my own, but how will mig welds hold up right behind the turbo? could always get then tig welded

any other way?
