Default Friggin B5 A4 1.8t downpipes? anywhere?

okay, blew out my flex pipe and i want to upgrade to a 2.5" aftermarket downpipe. ive checked apr, maxpsi, ghl, ecs, neuspeed, eBay, AWE and mjm! ive seen a few test pipes for sale for my car but no downpipe. i even used the search tool on here and vortex.

Does anyone make an aftermarket 2.5" downpipe for my car?

so far thats a start. i appreciate your response. $250 for a downpipe and another $150 for a test pipe. might as well order a $1000 catback ya know?

whats the difference between this dp and the stock? 2.5" versus the stock...?

if i order this, will it drop in with the stock exhaust piping and stock cat off the turbo? will i eventually be able to buy a TP and put it inplace of the cat and still utilize this DP?

Well sorry i didnt look at the prices and stuff I just knew they had downpipes. But your not gonna get much gains with a $1000 catback if you use stock dp. Depending what your running for turbo is what size you want stock is 2 1/4 so it opens it up a little bit. Thats about all I know, sorry if this is useless info just tryin to help, but i do know alot of the BT run 3"
