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.

 

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
