Downpipe on Ebay - any good?
Hi.
Been looking for a downpipe for my car, and stumbled on this one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW
Does anyone know if it's any good? I generally tend to be a bit suspicious of these kind of "value" parts from Ebay, but who knows it might just be like the Megan headers... great price and good reviews from those who bought them.
So, has anyone had any experience with these?
Cheers,
Paulo

Probably being thick but where the hell do the wastegate gasses go when it opens? Is there some advantage in doing this? I would of thought only if you want premature failure - someone enlighten me please?

Thank you for your replies.
I also didn't notice the blanked off wastegate area. So i'm going to stay away from this.
Guess it's back to the classifieds area to see if i can find a nice used downpipe for sale

In that case, it's crap mate
