I know this has been talked about before but now with headers and full exhaust the only thing stock is my downpipe. Mods are in my signature, and I am hoping to get RRM TB and possibly a cam down the road. I know Rob at RRM said he doesn't see much advantage to a downpipe but a lot of the lancer headers come with it and buschur used to make one. Anyway, what do people think of it? I am debating as I am about ready to have my car tuned, and another resonator added. I was thinking of adding the downpipe while I was at it.

ALSO, anyone happen to have a downpipe such as an older buschur or a ported TB such as RRM or RPW for sale???

I thought it was a good mod. Get a downpipe. Just have one custom-made at a shop. That was much cheaper than the Buschur (I had both).

where was the power at from where you felt? I also might get a FPR because off the line I have a "flat spot" and I heard something of how the fuel pumps on lancers are slow or something and need FPR's to remove that spot.

i had a couple different setups.

rpw with flex pipe (down pipe)

then

rrm with stock downpipe

then

rrm with custom downpipe

gains i wold say on all these mods were within 1-5 whp. the rpw header, catback, and rmr filter kit and piggyback got me 123.5 peak whp. i think i lost about 3-4 whp when i went to rrm's header for my turbo i had put on a week later. i gained some torque it felt like at least.

with the downpipe i felt little gains, and massice torque loss, of course i have a high flow cat and a catbac 2.25 inches and my downpipe is 2.5 cuz i have turbo and need it to start fat and end skinnier according to my research.

I can't say where particular gains were. I'm no expert and I only dynoed the car once (with the Buschur on at that time). I'd guess topend HP, though.
