3896, wyat and other new star kit owners? Posted by Jason 95 GS Turbo, Apr-17-01 02:41 PM
i noticed there is a large difference in the design of my downpipe, and the one pictured on your site. mine just basically has two bends in it, the first one off the turbo, and the other one to go under the car, the pipe is just then at an angle, the flange welded on at an angle. the picture on your site shows the new ones have some crazy bends in them to look more like the stock downpipe. Just wondered if this is true or not?

yep...when I got mine 2 months ago it came with those crazy bends. Wyatt was even tripin:-) It just makes it fit a little better. Actually, I think the one you have is better cause there's less restriction in the air flow.
Also... if you notice, that one's all shiny...mine came with charcal stuff all over it?
 I GOT 3rd AT MY FIRST SHOW!!!:-)

3899, I need a NEW DP Posted by 95ESi, Apr-17-01 04:49 PM
Will there be any new downpipes with a flex section in it? My DP is starting to rust cause the charcoal stuff all came off! WTH???

Mine too, leon. it's just an effect of the heat. It won't actually rust through or anything.

As long as you dont let the car sit for long periods without heat cycling the steel rust usually not a problem with steel even untreated. If you only put 10K miles a year on your car it could be a problem. Incidently the downpipe mine came with has a mild S curve bend at the bottom but is pretty straight going down from the turbine (and its the charcoally, not shiny and BIG).

I want a big shiny DP. Perhaps this one will fit better than the charcoal covered one since I had to bend it in a few places to make it clear the oil line.
How do I get one?
