Is there a big difference between a stainless steel downpipe and "aluminized steel and treated with high-temperature titanium particle coating" downpipe. I'm asking because I'm trying to decide between an apexi n1 and an apexi gt downpipe but the stainless steel one costs a little more plus I found a sweet deal on the n1 on ebay. I know stainless steel doesn't tend to rust but is there anything other difference between the 2? Oh and also if anybody has either of these downpipes did you guys have any problems with the o2 sensors or no and how do you guys like them?

I have the megan racing 3in SS DP with cutsom 3 in pipe all the way back. Fk-ing love it.

did you have to do anything with the o2 sensor that's right after the cat or does your downpipe have a o2 housing on it?

there is a plug that you can buy from a good dsm shop that can take care of it

I had a buscher down pipe to a full 3" SS exhaust to a thermal research and devlopment muffler 4.5 straight tip. That is all time best set up IMO

but is there any real difference between stainless steel and aluminized steel?

im not sure, but whats the price difference?

like 40 bucks but I found a brand new apexi n1 downpipe on ebay for 130 shipped so it's really like a difference of $140 but I'd rather just do it right the first time I don't like getting anything that's not like top of the line for my car.

My mitsu mechanic took care of it for me. Not sure. Its nice to have those guys around :D

you have to find the right shop. some shops WONT delete a stock cat, because of emissions

well I was probably gonna do it myself or my friend works at a muffler shop and he might be able to just hook me up and do it for like 20 bucks so I have to see if he can do it or not.

thats the way to go. its nice to know people
