15183, need some opinions as well as advice Posted by Green_Eclipse_RS, Feb-19-02 02:58 PM I was talking to one of my friends the other day who also owns an eclipse and he said that a downpipe would be a good buy to increase hp. Is this true and if so where can I get one for under 200 dollars. | |

15184, RE: need some opinions as well as advice Posted by Corbin, Feb-19-02 03:09 PM The people that see gains from downpipes are generally the turbo people. I don't think you can even buy a downpipe to mate up to the stock exhaust manifold on an NT. Headers are what NT people buy. There are probably several mods that should come before headers though. Like intake, underdrive pulley, exhaust. | |

15185, RE: need some opinions as well as advice Posted by Green_Eclipse_RS, Feb-19-02 03:15 PM well i already have an intake exhaust my udp is on the way. Also i have found some downpipes for nt. I have decided not to buy headers since that is what everyone is telling me. Would the downpipe help at all? | |

15186, RE: need some opinions as well as advice Posted by bigbrent88, Feb-19-02 03:24 PM Downpipes are only for turbos, they come after the compressor housing. Can't use them on N/A cars at all! | |

15187, RE: need some opinions as well as advice Posted by Corbin, Feb-20-02 01:08 PM If you want, post the links for the NT downpipes. I'm happy to take a look at them. I think it must be a miss-print or something. Thats good to skip the headers. Alot of them show very little power gains. I personally felt a gain with my old pacesetter header, but have no dyno proof. You just never know. Plus, you often have to deal with uncurable leaks. | |
