Which Decat Downpipe?
 

Hi guys,

One piece left missing out of my exhaust puzzle, i'm after a fully decat one piece 3" downpipe for my 2005 STi.

The system will be:

Ported STi headers > Harvey Trick Up-Pipe > (??Downpipe??) > Full 3" Blitz Nur Spec R

I don't mind about MOT concerns, i'm after a nice system which I will have remapped by Duncan once all is fitted.

So far the options I have are as below:

A) Cobra Sport Decat first and second decat downpipe - £160
B) Hayward and Scott one piece decat downpipe - £294
C) Harvey Handmade decat downpipe - £150

Would appreciate any help or feedback anyone has regarding the above and if there is something i've missed.

Also I want to know whether there is a massive difference between Cobra and H&S as the price suggests.

Thanks

The cobra one is well made and at a good price Hayward & scott is good but expensive and not sure if you will get one of harvey's he sadly passed away R.I.P :(

I found the cobra one good for the money......had to tidy the weld up a bit on the inside but good for the money!

I have got the opportunity of buying a brand new Harvey downpipe so really I'm thinking of either going for that to match the Harvey up-pipe or to go Cobra. I see no massive reason to spend double for the H&S as I know Harvey, bless is soul had great workmanship, same with Cobra.

I think I'll make up my mind tonight but will let this thread simmer so hear others' opinions.

If i had the chance to get one of harvey's downpipes i get that one for sure :thumb: cobra are good awell

I've gone for the Harvey downpipe:)

Got any videos of it full decatted? Ive got a Nur spec R on my 2004 Sti and stuck between full decat or sports cat. Dont want it to sound too raspy
