Anyone making an actual downpipe? Not a midpipe?

[DistantTea]

Just the section going from the turbo to the midpipe... nothing else. I know Corksport hasn't released theirs yet but is anyone else making one?

Supposedly Apex is, but I haven't heard any credible info

Hiboost has an Downpipe that connects to the S-Pipe and to the Mid Pipe.

APEX is NOT making one..They made one and the gains were not worth it.This is absolutely correct info from the horses mouth.

No offense, but I've heard conflicting information. I haven't seen Ben reply with a definite answer, so until I hear from him I'm not believing anybody.

a good dp from the turbo would be awesome...im not sure y apex didnt get good gains but of all the s*** ion makes and over prices...their dp design is actulaly really good...a individual runner just for the waste gate is awesome for spool up and turbo response.......i hope cork sport does the same

 

[mspeedpro]

This is why I refuse to believe anybody other than the vendors themselves.

 

[boostisgood]

Call them. Remember people, this was an issue and still continues to be. If you have questions, or concernes call the vendor directly.

Hehe, I'll post the e-mail from ben himself tonight.

"Are you planning to make a 3" s-pipe that would bolt up to your 3" downpipe? If so I'll definitely be getting your 3" downpipe as soon as I get the funds. Oh yeah, and if you're making this part do you know when it might come out? Thank you very much!

Ben's reply:


Brian, our "s " pipe will be the same as the factory cast piece. All we are doing is enlarge internal of the factory piece to make more flow. about 30-40% more flow. it will bolt up to all our DPs because it will not change the outer design.

Awesome anyone know when it should release?

This is our downpipe. We are working on a complete setup with cast s pipe, cast downpipe and the midpipe, both cated and catless.

 

[EvilMSP]

Yeah a few companies making them is a great thing to see. Im still waiting to buy my dp, catback, s pipe so Ill wait to see the products then buy the one I like all the way throught .

Goodluck vendors

Also I've never seen a price on one of these, what kinda estimates are we talking here? 100?

Juan,

1. What is the inside dia. of the downpipe?
2. Is the output side (donut side ) designed to fit the stock midpipe or is it bigger for say a 2.5" mid?
3. Is the downpipe coated with any hi temp paint or will it just rust like the stocker?

Thanks

The stock piece is 1.75 ID. Our is 2.5 with a slight reducer at the donut joint. It has a very thin donut to fit the stock midpipe and it is close to 2.5. It is 2.38 inches ID.
It is coated with high temp black paint.

Juan, Is it possible to have one made without the reduction to 2.38" ?

How do I contact you to buy one?


thanks for your answer.

We are working on a jig to machine it to make it 2.5. Since it is cast iron we need enough material to make thick enough for the casting process.

You can e-mail me at juan@hiboost.com to order. I can call you back to take the order over the phone.

I am just waiting for them to complete this jig so that I can get the downpipe. Then the only thing I need after that is for someone to make a cast iron S pipe with a 2.5" inside dia. and I will have a complete turbo back.
