3" downpipe for RS2?

[rallyejames]

Hi Peeps,

Looking at upgrading the RS2 at the mo.....its had the MRC wizards generic remap and also cats removed and a milteck fitted.Going very well but never being happy i want more....i would like to fit a bigger down pipe,i think the 3" is the best replacment?please could you guys point me iin the right direction in getting hold of one.
Many thanks James

Best bet is to do in conjunction with a full exhaust system. It will be louder and a PITA to fit though

James,

just out of interest has you RS2 still got standard brakes and suspension with the MRC gemeric remap? Whats it like to drive? do you know whats sort of BHP it's putting out? Are the standard brakes still up to the job?

Reason for asking i'm considering put a remap and a milteck so i can help get rid of that nasty L..........A..........G!!!!!!!!

Maybe something interesting, http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33408

Rs2 has the same downpipe fitment as the s4 / s6 and s2 if you still have OEM Turbo and EM

For sale? Price?

There's a second alternative here in Sweden to Morgan's 3" DP.

3" DP in stainless steel 2900:- = ~290 Euro

Thread Hijack

Don't really want to start a new thread for something which has possibly been discussed before. Sorry for the hijack.

Running stock internals on the ABY S2 at the moment and don't really want to start shelling out for new rods. Bought an RS2 turbo, manifold and injectors and am looking for somewhere around 380bhp and whatever torque the rods will take safely.

My question comes down to intercooler and exhaust. Will that be achievable with the stock intercooler until I can source a reasonably priced RS2 intercooler?
With the cost of the engine overhaul and clutch a big upgrade is also out the question on the exhaust. Especially as the original exhaust is still in reasonable condition.

I what order should I spend my last few pennies. I see my options at the moment as being:
Leave exhaust as standard and upgrade intercooler.
Leave intercooler, downpipe and cats, replace cat back with milltek.
Another possibility, but not sure if it is actually possible, leave intercooler and cat back, replace downpipe with milltek downpipe and twin cats. I've not researched this last option particularly, just thinking out loud. Forgive my ignorance if this last option is a daft idea or a non starter.

I don't know where the best benefits lie. Maybe someone could advise.

Thanks

Why don't you go for the Wagner Evo RS intercooler?

@rallyjames
If I get 5 or more interested before end of February then I will do another GB from morgan in Sweden.

I looked at the Wagner intercooler but it's still over £400. Not much more than a brand new RS2 intercooler. Question is, is this the priority to change over the exhaust system. I'm aware of how difficult it is to change the downpipe whereas the intercooler is a relatively straight forward job. Thinking ahead a bit but don't want to change things out of order if it's going to prevent the majority of the gains now.

Why Morgan in ordinary steel versus the other Swedish place in stainless ?

The extra price for stainless seems pretty reasonable IMHO...

[Jonas_R]

I have no idea why the Morgan makes it in steel and not stainless steel.

[S2central.net]

Hence my question / hint / preference Jonas !!!!!

[Jonas_R]

What is your question Paul.
Are you asking why I'm arranging a group buy from Morgan and not the other place or why Morgan uses ordinary steel?

Think I may have misinterpret it.
