URGENT advice re: Downpipe!

[Ross]

Hi,

I'm struggling to find much useful info regarding a downpipe for my S2... seems I need, one, I've got decat pipes and on the weekend having a 3" cat-back system fitting at Longlife. I'd like to get a downpipe fitted but it's gonna more than double the cost with them!! i can't put that much down at the moment... so, my question is, anyone know where I can source one from? Either an RS2 downpipe; if anyone has a spare Marco downpipe or equivalent, or even knows someone/somewhere that's made them up before and could likely do a good deal... I'd really like to get it all done this weekend but I just can't stretch to the prices that Longlife are asking!

Anybody?

Both myself & Bibby have had 3" SS systems done by him from bottom of downpipe.

Top work.

He quoted me ~£250 for a downpipe I believe it was.

Wany anymore details drop me a PM.

I know how you feel, im in need of a downpipe as well and the price they charge is astronomical compared to the rest of the system.

Im hoping to find someone to make something also, but am also held up by not knowing what im going to have for an EM when i get to doing it. IE tubular or RS2 item.

425 $ so probably not good help...

Too bad you're in hurry, I know this great guy in Holland who custom builds ss exhausts and his work is priced very right but he's not quick...

Hey thanks for all the prompt replies guys! I'd like the pipe for the weekend, but if not then I'll just get cat-back fitted and then I don't mind waiting... I'll be eventually fitting an RS2 manifold, so would just get it fitted at the same time.

I expected to get hit for £200-£250 for the downpipe but I was quoted one hell of a lot more! The longlife I'm getting the job done at is London; they have branches in Bristol, south coast somewhere and Leeds that I know of...

If anyone knows a place to get one made up, that'll fit in nicely with my 3" Longlife system (has to be good for 400bhp comfortably, this one has to be future-proof!) please post or drop me a PM...

Cheers

Hi, heard from a guy in a german forum with a Lehman 500+ engine in his RS2 that he has a B&N pipes with 70mm diameter and the Stock RS2 kats and downpipe! Lehman only changed his upper Downpipe part so it fits the new Bigger turbo!

is it possible that this exhaust good enough for this kind of power is? I can tell you also the turbo dimentions if you want!

Hi!
Not sure what this guys usernane is I remember he had his exhaust done at Longlife and they made him a downpipe. I thought they were going to start a small run. I know its for an AAN but.....
Might be worth investigating!

Go tubular with the 034 item then at least you can use the downpipe also. If you want one I can get them with a 10% discount, if that helps?

Am I correct in saying that the downpipe is the same for the S2/RS2? I'd hope that they could make the same piece for me at the same price, if that's the case... was that for stock manifold etc (ie, it wasn't some bespoke job).

IIRC the RS2 downpipe is a wider diameter/bore

[Ross]

Bigger bore.. that has to be a good thing. to clarify, what I'm asking is that if I talked to longlife and said "make me a downpipe exactly like the one you made for that RS2 in Bristol" would that fit my 3B?

Steep yank prices and shipping, plus import duty etc really dont inspire me, thanks for the offer tho, my intention will be to get someone i know to make it if possible, but we'll see, i need to get a few pennies together first.

RS2 downpipe is 2.75" S2 is 2.5"
