where do I get a straightpipe done?
Any recommendations?
Wanna get one from the turbo to the muffler...
actually I don't even understand what a straightpipe is, but I understand it's cheaper than getting a TurboXS stealthback.
Thanks,
Ambert

A straightpipe is exactly that, piping that goes straight from wherever it starts to wherever it ends.
The usual result when putting on a straightpipe is that your car becomes a cop magnet because by deleting the majority of the catalytic converters (i think the uppipe has one, and the rest are behind the turbo) you will not be restricting the exhaust gases much, thereby increasing noise substantially.
I'm not sure how it behaves on our cars, but there should be an increase in power, how much? I have no idea.
The most important thing about the staight pipe is:
you will never pass CARB if you have it on.
