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.

I've got an original Greddy downpipe I can sell, PM me.

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

Where did your downpipe crack?

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.

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

I haven't heard of him making anything for a while so good luck..... they were rare back when i first joined so finding tt dp's now is crazy nuts..... GL

Has anyone tried the obx greddy dp? It look kinda like TT dp. I know that obx doesnt have the best quality and their fitmint might be off. But thats what i heard about obx. just wondering if anyone has tried it or used it. Also, what are users take on the difference after replacing the dp with a TT, BEGi, etc......quicker spool? etc........

scratch that last posting about obx, just spoke to a friend that had one and he said it was a P.O.S.! Dont waste ur $$$!!! LoL!

Turbo Tony should still be making them. My last email to him was about a month ago. He also sells matching test pipes/cats.

got a hold of him, will be ordering dp soon! any particular one recommended?

Anyone got a pic of this downpipe? I might be interested. Whats the price on them?

IIRC they look like something this

But with a flex pipe.

275$ shipped I believe.

Make sure to get one with a flex pipe.

Im close to you and Ill weld it up for free pm me, I cant be 20min from you.

Looks nice, who do I pm to get one?

Any custom exhaust makers near you?

Its something I'm looking into, being in the UK import duty etc makes the begi quite expensive
