Downpipe question - First Mod
I own a bone stock 1994 FD with 20,000 original miles. I am considering a downpipe and I am getting a lot of conflicting advice. Some are saying that the ECU should be upgraded or a boost controller installed and others say no...this in the only mod I am planning on doing. Please advise.
Thanks.
Thanks.

FDs in other countries came with cat-less downpipes from the factory. It's a perfectly safe mod without any other supporting mods, and in fact is considered to be a reliablilty mod. The stock twins combined with an already superheated rotary exhaust make short work of precats, which causes them to disintegrate and clog the maincat.
What you probably read was people talking about removing the maincat for a midpipe. Then you need to port your waste gate, get a boost controller, etc.

Thanks everyone...I will get one on order today. I saw someone on the forum who had a used HKS that was ceramic coated. Would this be a good option? How does the HKS fit?
