Title: Downpipe where from?
Post by: Kash_ on March 13, 2008, 12:02:34 PM
Hi guys, does anyone know where to get a ready made / custom downpipe for a Garrett turbo? It\'s for an FD.

I think they\'re equivalent to the prices I paid for stuff from Australia and that included shipping half way round the world :) Then again AtomicRex\'s stuff won\'t be crap....but then again neither are SMB exhausts.

Hiya Guys
 
Hayward and Scott...really, and as much as I don\'t want to say anything bad about them...wouldn\'t advise you going near them!  I had an exhaust made for my Atom from them....it was horrible!  Lost power and sounded awful!  I have a friend who successfully took them to court and sued them for loss of power!  His car was 25% down on power from Standard and fitting an off the shelf exhaust added 10% over standard and was cheaper.
 
With regard to ours, honestly, you can buy cheaper, we are fully aware of that.  But in this day and age you get what you pay for!  The work you are about to undertake is probably one of the most expensive undertakings on the car.  So why skimp?
 
As we state in the thread, the company that makes ours are very good....the welding is amazing!!  If you have a look I can promise you wouldnt be disappointed!
