DP's Questions....

[Audi A4 2.0TQ]

Other then I guess a aftermarket DP allowing more airflow....what is the differences between aftermarket DP's when looking to replace the OEM DP's?

P.S. I did research but did not find any theoredical answer's for my questions.

What type of HP and Torque gains can be had with aftermarket DP's?

aftermarket>piggies>oem

i know that you will have a gain with piggies, from what i heard around 15hp. Aftermarket is a little more.

whp.. it helps a lot, especially up top and with spool time.
I want ASP or SSAC instead of pigs now though.

Also want to know this. A lot of the aftermarket dps seem to be very expensive... at least for me. What's the cheapest way to go? SSAC?

you gotta buy everything to get the SSAC DPs. they're not sold separately unfortunately, because i'd be all over them otherwise. I'm thinking about buying it though, and selling the catback.

dude, the price of downpipes is retarded. the only downpipes i would get are the SSAC. everything else is WAAAAAAY overpriced IMO for the minimal gain you would see over piggies.

piggies all the way man.

I'm going to see if I can get a local shop here to do them for me. They did a full exhaust for me for the Soarer for $500 bucks. 3" from turbo to 2x 2.25 exhausts.

daaamn, where are they at??

[Dimcorner]

Near Homestead. I wanna see if they will do the DP's so when I do my turbo's I'll bring the DP's with me to the shop and see what they can do and for how much. I'll post pics and all once I do it. Hopefully I'll be doing the car in about 2 weeks (my dad does body work and mechanic also).

You know, looking at the SSAC prices... I'm tempted to just pick one of these up.

i would like to see a shop do our dps for a decent price. Many places dont want to deal with stuff like that. they only deal wit catbacks and simple stuff. If you could get real custom made dps for a good price, i would definitely be in on that. And not some SSAC stuff.

I dont want to get into the whole quality issue with SSAC stuff, but personally i rather not use dps that are not top notch. Catbacks are different, but dps are just a pita.

Ok, well i'll go check out the shop and see how much they will charge for SS downpipes. If I end up getting it I'll report it.
