Default SPIPE RECOMMENDATIONS

I have a megan racing OE-RS exhaust and i am not in search of a good Spipe now. Any recommendations? Any compatibility issues i should know about? Like always appreciate the input!

I've had the CC S-pipe since last year and I've had no problems with it at all. Installed mine on a stock exhaust and then added the magnaflow cat-back.

There is also a megan racing one if you want all megan parts.

Be careful with the CC spipe. I have one on my tC and my brothers and they fit great. I ordered a thrid for our RS2 tC and it didnt even come close to fitting. Sent it back and they send a new one and it was better but still doesnt fit well. To the point where I didnt keep it on the car. The o2 bung wasnt in the right place and it make the sensor bang on stuff....not good.

make sure the spipe is 2.5inch and you should be fine. i wouldnt get anything smaller in size.

couldn't tell you, I did header all the way back at the same time. The entire CC exhaust in stainless with high flow cat, magnaflow resonator, and Borla muffler. Sounds great and it gave a real nice power increase.

i dont know the gain on just an spipe because you really wanna do more then that to be happy. if you do the header back with 2.5pipe (and intake) .... you will get atleast 20whp added (about).

also - if you get the right parts in the right order you open yourself for max power with other products that you get for the future of your car.

well this is what i have so far on my car. a Fujita CAI, and a megan oe-rs exhaust from the s pipe back. i just put that on today. i wish i would have gotten the s pipe as well, but i can always order one now. I plan on putting a dezod turbo kit on it, so i dont want to get any headers cause i will have to sell them anyways as soon as i get my kit.

It would be nice if i could achieve right around 200 hp on a n/a engine for now. I was thinking that perhaps a good way to do this would to be a performance ecu/piggy back system. I would be killing two birds with one stone in the sense that i could tune it for non turbo now, and then reflash it with turbo parameters whenever i get a turbo kit. What you guys think?

You won't be getting 200whp N/A with the common bolt-ons. You'll certainly need to raise the compression ratio, and will probably need to find some cams and a new head.

I also couldn't help but wonder...
Adj. 1. unabated - continuing at full strength or intensity; "the winds are unabated"; "the popularity of his books among young people continued unabated"
intense - in an extreme degree; "intense heat"; "intense anxiety"; "intense desire"; "intense emotion"; "the skunk's intense acrid odor"; "intense pain"; "enemy fire was intense"

I don't understand that in the context of your sig.

the problem is - if you get high compression pistons ..you dont want them w/ a turbo. but yes - you get the piggyback ecu now and get it tuned...they can move your powerband over and you will get more power ....remember ...since the tc only gets peak power at redline ... max hp isnt what you want - you want to shift the power band over to the left. The emanage ultimate is what you want:

Do any of the s-pipes hang too low, as in scrape? I heard the ZPI one scrapes sometimes but not certain. I basically deciding between the CC, Megan, or ZPI but if fitment or scraping are an issue with any, that will obviously limit my options. Any help would be appreciated...

i have the dezod spipe back exhaust and it fit the stock header 100% fine. Since I have the midpipe back also I dont know how the spipe would have fit on the stock midpipe ...and for that matter ....i dont even know if draxas sells the spipe w/o the midpipe/exhaust.

How's that exhaust sound? Does it come with a high flow CAT? Did you get the second sound chamber? Questions questions questions (only becasue I'm awaiting my turbo and will definitely need at the very least a new spipe)...

if i could do it again - i would get the same exhaust - sounds awesome - the deepest i have heard on any tc. and yes ...it has a high flow cat and resonator. Im not sure what you mean about the second chamber. Yes - I would say you should get a new spipe atleast .... w/ the turbo you are 100% going to benefit from a exhaust thats atleast 2.5inches. That seems like what a lot the turbo guys are doing and getting good results. some are going 3inch but i dont know if they are benefiting because i have a s/c and 2.5 is what I need (and i havent looked up too much about turbo exhaust setups).
