Stromung Hi-Flow Cat DP..watcha think

Thinking of buying one used from a guy on NASIOC

think it'll work well with a Helix uppipe and an I-SPeed flash later on?

I'd like to keep the cat in the DP for emissions reasons




anyone got any experience with this?

thx

I thought Strömung was supposed to be stainless?? Is the downpipe just discolored from use and dirt? Also, this is the worst performing downpipe because of the cat and flat plate where the wastegate vents at the turbo flange. Strömung has a newly released 3" stainless downpipe (catless only), with divorced wastegate pipe similar to Vishnu's Signature Series downpipe. I saw it for about $189/new.

no, but its not much better.

I wouldn't waste my money on that downpipe, u will get minimal gains, not even worth it imo

yea that dp is practically like stock. No divorced wastegate or bellmouth and it has a cat in it.... Just go catless and when it comes time for emmission put the stock dp back on.
