exactly how bad is the greddy downpipe?
OK, I know that without a doubt some gains will be seen by going to a better/larger downpipe, however will the stock greddy one support around 185-200 whp? That's all I'm really shooting for, and it would be nice to get there and still have a semi-smog legal kit (or at least be able to revert quickly if needed).

Pretty bad, it's meant to maximize the power of the stock exhaust. It's a big limiting factor. That setup could net you 180hp and could probably be a decent 220hp setup with a quality 2.5" turbo-tip exhaust system and only an extra psi or 2. Along with the injectors to handle the extra power of course.

I'd go one worse than that, Curly, and say that the stock Greddy downpipe is only meant to physically connect the turbine to the stock exhaust. It's horrid.
OP - You may attain your goal on the stock downpipe, but you'll get faster spool with a good downpipe and probably make the same power with less boost (read: stress) on your engine.

I never had a problem with the visual inspection while running a 2.5" TurboTony pipe. It's not as though the tech has a high-resolution image of the pipe that's supposed to be there.
