I'm looking for comments or recommendations regarding the following downpipes:

1) Pettit
2) HKS
3) RX-7 Store Downpipe/Midpipe Combo

I'm considering purchasing the one from the RX-7 Store as it is cheaper than the others and also includes the midpipe (although I don't need that section at this time). I plan to retain the stock main cat and also have the Greddy Ti exhaust on order.

 

This question has never been asked before in the entire history of this board.

 

well if you get the midpipe i would definetly get a boost controller as well because you will be spiking like crazy. i would say there all the same just get something stainless steel

 

Sorry I asked such a beaten to death question. Mommy taught me how to use the search feature and I found the answer I was looking for.

 

ssautochrome in ebay

 

The HKS would be the easier one to install but if you dont mind just get the rx7 store dp/mp combo or one off of ebay.

 

I bought the rx7 store combo since it was cheaper then the rest. It bolted up perfect and also bolted up to the stock cat wich most kits off ebay require you to use the mid pipe that comes in the combo.

Decided to go with SR for the DP...Then to be shipped back out for a jet hot coat.

 

Please dont tell me you paid $329 for a downpipe. There are so many options that are cheaper and just as good.

 

$329.00 (http://www.srmotorsports.com/sr93xhst.html) I'd have to say thats a rip off compared to other dp's. You get what you pay for most of the time, but the rx7 dp is a nice piece.

A dp is a dp, I got mine off ebay for $30 or so

 

i had an hks it was horrible compared to what i have now GREDDY off roading downpipe

 

How was the HKS "horrible"?

 

ouch $300+ for a metal tube with a couple of bends in it. you should have just bought it used especially if you were gonna hot coat. jebus crikes! they never go bad if they are made of stainless. anyhow that s my 2 cents

 

I just finished installing a used HKS DP. Bought it for $100 and got it Jet-Hot 2000 coated (~$100 including shipping both ways). It fit up perfectly, and went on easily even with all four studs in place.

 

the most important thing about a down pipe is to get the smaller studs and nuts to make it easier to take off next time.

 

if i didnt get mine for free .. i woulda went with the petite

 

HKS

 

Gotham...

 

it just felt more "restricted' then the greddy . it was definitly noticable

 

I have good luck with HKS Downpipe. The fitment is good. The tuning is correctly. Thumbs up for car life!

 

i was just lucky enough to be able to test the both of them and make a decision!

and after "testing" both GREDDY all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Since when did greddy start making downpipes? or is this a JDM part.

Damn actually ... it IS a duiscontinued item... i very sorry everyone i forgot about that since it HAS been so long.

Jason it is the Greddy off roading dp it was bought a good 3 years ago maybe more but Greddy did make them.


would take picture but you know how fun that would be to try and snap that pic lol lo lol

 

Question to the HKS users: Is this the one that has the cast iron upper mated with a steel tube (JDM???)

There is one of these on EBAY right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7950523477




I didn't know they came in that size!!! (LOL)
