Octavia II VRS 06 Plate Downpipe

[eurowolf69]

Hi all,

Have reviewed OLD posts on a subject that's been around forever! Here for advice on current options as sure the market and people's experiences have changed.

Flexible part of downpipe has split, I now have a VRS tractor ;-)

I have a Stage one map by Mike @ Motech Northants and no other modifications.

Options from reading up?......

Pipewerx Hi flow cat/downpipe which I BELIEVE fits current standard rear system £470ish - understand it is still MOT legal, lifetime warranty, not too noisy - current my top choice in my head.................

Correct me if im wrong but from what ive read - low resistance cat/downpipe seems to give a good performance upgrade - with rear system negligible

Repair - quoted £75 at VRS Northampton, also found pipewerx flexi coupler £22 ebay but not researched size or fit method yet (weld/clamp etc)

Considered Magnex etc but above short listed????

Standard part ridiculous price £500-£800 as it contains CAT......and NO performance upgrade....no thanks!

Milltek £1500ish as downpipe only fits their systems NOT standard rear system

While I'm at it, if I do upgrade is air intake noticeable performance wise or just a nicety.....suggestions

Hope you can help before I make a choice and get the bank card out!
