Downpipe brands?

[aplaud84]

So are PPE and stainless works out only option for Downpipes? Both have an insane wait time.

 

[SHOthyme]

PPE is worth the wait.

Awesome, I’m going to check them out, this is my second Ecoboost, I used to have a Tremor that I sold for my Lightning, tune+intercooler+downpipes lol

Or go custom...

I would recommend looking for an exhaust shop in your area. I ended up paying about $1200 for my 1 off set with install/gasket/hardware.

Yea nearly what i paid for 3.5” custom downpipes. What crazy route they had to take to fit lol

I’m already waiting for the GH intercooler sooooo, I debated pulling em off and chopping out the cat and welding pipe in, but if I don’t ge the angle right I’ll be beating my head against the wall

The PPE is only 700, guess I’m waiting

The stock DPs are so small that doing that would probably not even be worth your time or saw blades to cut it.

 

[aplaud84]

I don’t even remember their size. Only time I saw em was when I flushed my PPU.

I will be that guy. Honestly if you are running stock turbos, DP's are not needed. They provide minimal gains even with a tune.

 

[FiveLeeter918]

While I do disagree that they provide minimal gains, as I have seen plenty of times on customer cars where they provide up to a 3 tenth gain in the 1/4, there are other avenues to take for better gains given the current standing.

We used to keep 6-10 sets in stock of the SW catted pipes, but with steel shortages and boats stuck at the ports we are looking at the end of November for our next shipment. We ordered a set of PPE pipes for a customer last week and we were quoted 12-16 weeks, Merry Christmas!

Honestly the best **** for your buck on this platform currently is an XDI-EVO HPFP. Order it, current lead time is 2-3 weeks, install in under an hour, load E30 tune, and run bottom 12s with no other modifications other than map sensor and plugs. Downpipes and intercooler are good depending on your climate, but also highly depend on your tuner choice of if they will make that much of a difference.

I have to verify they sell E30 here, my last duty station was the basic 3, 87,97,93. I’ll have to cruise to the gas station and verify.

I gained about four tenths after installing the catted PPE downpipes.

E30 isn't sold, you have to mix e85 with regular gas to get e30...preferably the premium stuff.
