Thanks! I figured it out! How long does it take to ship? I would like to do the whole exhaust at once, but I might just have to do the header and midpipe and wait till my cat-back gets in.

I personally would rather have a RB header/presilencer combo, but the bonez racepipe is NOT a piece of crap. It was on my car for over a year. The power gains were exactly what I expected, and it sounded pretty damn good. I would have gotten the RB setup if I could have afforded it. Oh and the RB presilencer is not just a straight piece of pipe, otherwise it would not be $200. A straight pipe with a RB header instead of presilencer will give your car the chainsaw on crack sound that my car has no with a header and gutted cat. The presilencer won't really make your car more QUIET, but it will change the exhaust tone and get rid of the of the high frequency resonating sound, and leave you with a more mellow deeper sound. I personally don't mind the chainsaw on crack sound, it sounds mean as hell, but I still would rather have a presilencer than my gutted cat.

Yo,


I had the Bonez racepipe on my GTUs for over 2 years. For the money, you can't beat it.

I recently upgraded to the RB downpipe/presilencer, and it does flow better.


I've been told going to headers is not worth the PITA of installing them, and dealing with smog. Currently, all it takes is four bolts to put in my catstack.


Anyone have any hard figures of Downpipe vs. Header? I remember someone saying it only netted a few HP more...

i would stay for terms mostly used :

downpipe - only for turbos, from turbo to main cat
header - only for NA, from engine block to main cat

gains of header vs something bolted to stock exhaust manifold is and must be noticable (weight difference, much better flow for header..)
