3" Downpipes

Post by Paulm » Mon Feb 22, 2016 7:11 pm

3" downpipes in link. Worth a punt??

Works out around £760 which is excellent value for 3" pipes

Nice find Paul and much cheaper than the Milltek and Litchfield 3" Downpipes.

I'm pretty sure that the secondary cats are housed in the mid/link pipes so you would still need these pipes made up?

The standard exhaust comes in 3 pieces,

Downpipes (Pre/Primary Cats)
Mid/Link Pipes (Secondary Cats?)
Rear section.

It's a shame we can't get a set of pipes over to JCWF - I'd wager they could make a pair up for <£500 - if only they had a template to duplicate from.

just flagged to JCWF. They're confident they can do these for £600 ish and it'll be a better product (lighter and less welds with their new posh tube bender). Mark's promised to post later ;)

because you're a bender, and the thought of other benders out there in the wild makes you moist.
