greddy downpipe upgrade
 
ok so my stupid greddy downpipe finally cracked and im SOL on a driveable car. i know begi makes a really nice downpipe, but i dont have $500 bucks. i know mazdaracing used to make one but i guess he doesnt make em anymore. does anyone have a decent alternative to the begi, as much as i like it and want it i dont have the money and need to drive my car.:crx:

The BEGi in mild steel is only $375. The other ones out there that you see are almost all not in production currently. If you wait patiently every once in a while one of these discontinued downpipes comes up for sale used but.. if you need it asap, BEGi is your best bet, plus it's reallllly nice, and worth the $ IMO.

is the mild steel pipe weaker or is it just not as shiny? i just dont want to have to replace this crap again.

urgaynknowit had a toney downpipe forsale.

I just replaced mine with another factory dp, you can pick them up used pretty cheap.

Miatamaniac92 had one he was willing to sell.

Good Luck!

first i've ever heard of a cracked greddy dp, cheapest option would be to have it welded. like mentioned above you could also get a factory one from someone who's upgraded. i think i have mine somewhere, pm me if you want me to look for it

My greddy DP cracked and was welded now it doesnt seal right and leaks im looking for a replacement as well.

jatow 05-20-2009 08:37 PM

Sorry Brian, I can't respond to PM's until I have 15 posts.

jatow 05-20-2009 08:38 PM

Where did your downpipe crack?

E=MC^2 05-20-2009 08:51 PM

Oh man it cracked in like 4 places it was repaired before i bought it and now it doesnt sit flush and leaks like crazy!

Is Turbo Tony real or just a myth?

real.

i have a stock dp, it's ugly and dirty but someone can get at it. open to offers.

If you take it to Midas or a mom and pop muffler shop, just point at it and give them less than 40 bucks to weld it. I had my DP made at a muffler shop within 5 hours of me walking in there.

Is Tony still making his downpipes? Mine is still working great. Knocks on wood so it doesn't fall off the next time I run the car.

I need a down pipe also. Was thinking of how to get a hold of Tony. Help anyone?

You could just buy one from Bell engineering.

I think, search for turbo tony and youll see his email somewhere.

If it leaks after being welded, the flange probably warped. Get it sanded/machined flat.

zbossrt 09-12-2009 09:23 PM

I emailed him, waititng for a reply... thanks guys!

p51hellfire 09-13-2009 02:11 AM
