Racing beat or Corksport downpipe

I was wondering, what would be a better downpipe to use on an turbo fc? racing beat or corksport. Which one will give more power wise or just be better in the long run.

im not really sure, but isn't the downpipe just that (a pipe)?

i think the only thing you'd need to worry about is durability(?)

i have a RB downpipe (not installed) and it seems very solid, very well made

I have a Corksport and it seems well made also. What I liked about the one I got was that it went from 3" at the turbo to 2.5" at the cat and I could use my stock exhaust until I save up enough for a full system.

I have a cork sport full system. The cork sport is made very well, just as good if not better than RB

Use the Corksport, you can use anything that'll bolt into that main cat slot. **** RB and their odd lengths to make you buy that gay presilencer.

i would think that both downpipes would give the same amount of power same size and all just depends on the rest of your system i have the corksport full system the quality is great and fitment is also good i havent heard any complaints about either company about quality

They both can give you a 3.125" exhaust, except for after the "y" the RB exhaust flows into two smaller diameter pipes.
