So my intercooler is on order, and ill be getting a catch can soon as well. once theyre both installed, im looking towards the downpipe options.
Currently my exhaust system is factory downpipe, factory exhaust with resonator deleted and roush "axleback activ8". and yes the activ8 is openned. So being that there are several transitions between 2, 2.5 and 3 i think throughout the exhaust, does an expensive aftermarket downpipe make sense right now? Point being is that i can have the cat cut out and a pipe welded in in its place probably for free at my muffler shop. is that a viable solution?? has anyone ever done this? I assume i wont get all the benefits of a proper downpipe without a matching exhaust, but deleting the cat removes the biggest restriction. Inputs? Opinions? Obviously once i save a bit more over the next few months ill get a proper turbo back.
