Which one should I get first? Someone told me that an uppipe is useless unless i have headers. Also uppipes are really hard to install. I'm leaning towards a downpipe. Whats a good brand. Please help.

Who ever told you that an uppipe is useless unless you have headers is a complete moron. An uppipe will allow your turbo to spool a few hundred RPM earlier thus giving you a broader powerband.

If you're looking at DPs or UPs be sure to look at the Perrin, PDE, APS, Turbo XS, Vishnu, Helix, and Gruppe-S models. You should be able to make a good choice from those.

And WW, are you trying to re-organize i-club again? I for one don't mind answering tech type questions in this forum and have personally had better results asking questions here because the people are more helpful.

 

Get both man!

When we install the uppipe it requires the removal of the downpipe. So I say get both coz they work in tandem to breath better. Save money on gaskets as well.
