Hi Guys

Ordered a Turbo downpipe for the VXR today.

Is this something i can fit at home on the ramps?

Does it go where the Precat thing is where the pipe starts to go up near the front just before the flexi piece?

Just didn't know thats all

Thanks!

Downpipe from the turbo to the centre flexi pipe...just frees up a bit of power

From the factory they have to pass even stricter emission tests then that when being MOT'd. So an extra cat is placed just after the turbo (Pre-cat). Once the car has left the factory that cat can be replaced (pre-cat replacement pipe or downpipe) which allows the turbo to flow more freely and gives about 10-15bhp extra
