$450 for the downpipe? Well, I guess you make it up in how cheap the mani is, right? Didn't you say the treadstone mani+DP would be less total then the ATP mani+DP?

Just so you know, if you would have listened to me, you could have gotten the dezod mani for $381 and their downpipe for $411 with open dump or $475 with the recirc dump. Both of which also come with a 2.5" S/Pipe.

No way bro you would be paying 800$ + for theDezod manifold and down pipe, and some of us simply do not need a 2.5" S-pipe(have Invidia)

also the pipe is not universal ,the one they make is only for the T3 turbo it comes with, the TC's kit has no option for a different turbo unless you call them up and order it, at which point a different pipe is whipped up and included in the kit.

its not just treadstone...Dezods manifold only fits their down pipe which in turn only fits their S-pipe...

bastiches...
treadstone does not give u a different downpipe if you upgrade the turbo. and they're not sure if the one that is in the kit will work or not. ill let them know in the spring lol.
Not true bro, I have never seen a Garret T3 with a 2.25" 4 bolt "round" exhaust outlet like that.

most use the fugly 5 bolt "SR20"style outlet flange and the Tneticks use a similar set up or the "round" 4 bolt flange.

like this...common T3 5 bolt flange...
http://treadstoneperformance.com/pro...+outlet+flange

freaky new Tnetics round 4 bolt flange for T4...
http://treadstoneperformance.com/pro...+Outlet+Flange

internal wastegate 3 bolt garret flange...
http://treadstoneperformance.com/pro...ownpipe+Flange

"weirdo" T3 4 bolt flange for TC treadstone kit..."
http://treadstoneperformance.com/pro...scharge+flange

unless i'm wrong(and theres a good chance i am ) this flange will not fit Tnetic turbos or other garrets for that matter...

ahh...yeah...what he ^^^ said.

Huh? That's $792 for the Dezod setup and $779.95 for the treadstone setup, but the Dezod comes with an s-pipe. Differance of $12.05.
What do you mean "no way you would be paying $800 for dezod?" Oh, and I know aen personally, and he is using the stock S-pipe. Even said so on the last page.

Well i didn't mean VS the treadstone stuff, its just that i think a down pipe should never be over 300$ look at ATP's and nissan nerds get sr20 down pipes for 160$...

right back at you keeshwah I said i might be wrong and what would be the point of up grading to a larger turbo if the kit still comes with a down pipe with a 2.25" flange mister smart guy?
or has treadstone not relayed that info to you yet...

jackass!

Hey, old men need their sleep!

I think $400 is a little steep, but I dont' htink you get any less. can they just do the hot side since you have the cold side done?

Mugetsu:
When you put it that way, i agree. ALL our downpipes are way overpriced.
