      has anybody on ever bought the 034 motorsport 3" downpipe this one http://www.034motorsport.com/product...roducts_id=137 was it worth it?
      If you can get down to it try prospeed in cardiff for a quote, they can probably beat that.

        For track days you just by one of them can of beans looking things.
        they stick out like a siliencer , they do look rather erm , :rolleyes.
        i lost the rear box of my avant ages ago and had a little bit of pipe that i wedged in and it sounded pretty good. was even better when i lost the other siliencer.

                John, it's the V-clamps and materials that rack the costs up. You won't get anyone to replicate that set-up for much cheapness. I built mine like that for easy access and the parts came out like this

                3" 80 degree SS bend x 2

                1 x 3" x 8" flexi

                2 metres of 3"SS

                4 V band flanges + 2 Aircraft spec V band clamps

                SS turbo flange & SS WG flange (I made these out of stainless, no wonder they cost!)

                It's more straightforward if you don't want the V clamp /cone/flange from the turbo, but that was one of the things I hated - taking the DP off !

                When you tally up the materials and then add the TIG plus fitting it's not a cheap solution... but it was superb.

                It the fitting that takes the time.... the TIG is the easy bit.
