Default Downpipe differences ?

At the moment i'm running a TSL Grp A downpipe.

But am thinking of changing to an H&S.

Is there any benefit in doing this ?
Or are all d/pipe pretty much the same and i shouldn't bother ?

Thanks

Johnny

If you've already decatted the downpipe, I don't think you'll notice much difference between the different ones available. The main options available are whether it's a twin dump or open neck design, and if open neck, whether it has a splitter or not...

Thanks for your reply.

Guess i`ll just stick with the open neck TSL then.
No point in spending cash when i dont need to.

Cheers

Johnny

You could always do coilovers, Oil cooler, FMIC, lightened pulley, uprate clutch, flywheel.

Then move onto the internals, and another remap

lol..

Actually, it's only a MY98 wagon.
I had an FMIC, but never fitted it, so sold it and just opted for a tmic.

I had also considered coilovers, but heard a few bad reports...
So on the lookout for decent shocks i can go for.

And hopefully do the drop links etc..at the same time.
