Who makes the BEST Stainless DP & MP?

I have a Mild Steel one from Bonez that fit pretty well.

Currently I am thinking of going with a SS DP and selling my Mild Steel MP since My new CB will be SS. I just like to have a matching set.

I just check on RX7 Store and it seems that there are a ton of them out there. HKS has an interesting one that seems to have a stock DP look.

Also, I noticed that my friends that have a SS DP, you can hear the Turbos spool up more then the Mild Steel one that seems to be quieter.

Anyone knows the weight difference between Mild and SS DP?

i think RX7 store sells that same one, but since I will need to replace the MP with main cat for smog check in CA I will still need to retain the flexibility of going with a seperate item.

M2 - Perfect fit, Flawless welds, and larger dia than HKS, M2 =3" HKS=70mm (2.75")

IMHO M2 is the best available fd DP, they do tend to be hard to get though, I think b/k M2 waits untill the have a bunch of orders before they make them up. I finally bought mine from a guy that won one at the Sevenstock 4 raffle, after waiting 2 months for mine to be delivered from M2 - then it arrived at MARIAH two days later!

I can say from selling a bunch of different ones at the rx7store that the M2 is the best selling by far. Its been around a while and I dont think there have been any complaints about them.

i have a pettit one and i installed it in about 2 hours at home.

Personally if the flange is right and the pipe is 3", it's the same crap.

IMO, downpipe are ALL THE SAME. The one thing I would be worried about is rust/price/ease of installation. Even rust and ease of installation wouldn't be important to me if the price was right. But definitely not Looks...mainly because 99% of the time, you(or anyone else) can't see the darn thing!

The M2 model seem to have the easiest install and Ivan told me that it was one of his favorites.
