Wich Downpipe?
So here's my dilema, I have the catless helix system(uppipe-downpipe) and decided that I want to keep the third cat. I've been looking at the bosal and the stromung. The things I want are 3" design, bellmouth or divorced wastgate and the shorty design so I can bolt it up to the third cat or an aftermarket high flow. Also the txs looked nice because of the stock looking heat shields on the third cat, but it doesn't look like it would bolt up to other systems. I have the stock cat-back right now but I'll probably be putting on a borla hush twin tip or a bosal twin tip exhaust sometime in the near future.
Thanks
Thanks

If you want a shorty downpipe than I would recomnend the Crucial racing piece.
This is in my opinion the best downpipe shorty or not on the market. If you read the description it says that it is a full 3" downpipe with divorced wastegat. and it is ceramic coated. which is a big plus. check it out.

You are correct in thinking that the TXS wont bolt up to other systems unless you modify it. I have The TXS DP/catpipe and love it but If I were you I think I would buy a good metal substrate cat and have it welded on to the Helix.
BTW, when do you plan on buying the Hush?

The Stromung DP has a 3" exit flange and it's supposed to bolt up to the factory 3rd cat pipe http://www.daddysscp.com/dcart4/prod...3&cat=6&page=1.

So, is the DP "pricey"? Maybe, but I prefer to think more in terms of value than price

There is a difference between price and value. If you compare all the specs and features to the other pipes you can buy, there is no comparable value in a DP. We even give you the turbo outlet gasket and its embossed, pure copper.
