downpipe conversion help?

[xiongsta_00]

Hi. Just wondering, if I was to convert my na to tt, will I need to change my down pipe? I am really hopeing to just using my na downpipe, but if not, then converting it must. My engine, by the way, right now is a 8:1 and almost complete with my collecting of parts.

Thanks.

It won't work. You can try converting it, but it'll save you time and money to just buy a new one.

if you're talking about buying a new downpipe, will it fit the na exhaust? or do you mean to just buy a whole new system?

you can make it fit to the n/a exhaust...though i'd really recommend going with at a MINIMUM, a 2.5" single shot catback. i currently have said setup running on my FWD tt.

just buy an ebay down pipe with solid or polly motor mounts (solid are cheaper). you will need a cat back also. the na cat back will not fit + it is way to restrictive. you can get a stock TT exhaust or go aftermarket or you can make one or have one made.

lots of or's there.

yeah the stock NA exhaust will choke out alot of your power.

since you are building a 8:1 motor, id say you are planning on running a pretty high boost, and it would probably be best to go with 3 inch piping.

there are bolt up kits, but it would probably be more cost efficient to go to the local muffler shop and have them fab you up a custom exhaust
