down pipe part II

[Beastlee]

Well it's a promising start but I don't think they could deliver the whole order given the different locations.

Fair play to them though.

MarkSanne,

How about getting a quote from RHDJapan for these equal length downpipes from Pros Engineering, Carplus Co. Ltd here:

http://www.diana.dti.ne.jp/carplus/m...ec5/p%26p.html

Not sure if they are still available.

OK Done ! - I sent em an email myself too!

[Kieran]

Phosty - Give 'em a yell yourself, the more Legnum owners contact them, the more parts they'll hold in stock for us!

Drop them a line at RHDJapan@RHDJapan.com

[MarkSanne]

Yeah guys, do it please. If I'm the only one contacting them they might start thinking "that guy again..."

Don't forget to post their reply here please! VERY interested in this beauty too!

Thats £408 for the Down pipes.... excluding shipping and import duty!!

You could get custom ones for less than that!

For which ones Wouter? The Pro-Shop IIda ones, the YR Advance ones, the Kakimoto ones or the Pros Engineering ones?

Was that a RHD Japan quote?

I Clicky on phosty's linky and second from the top are a set of down pipes...

That = Y 98,000 (at least it looks like that much)

Using www.oanda.com I got the following...

98,000 Japanese Yen = 408.621 British Pound

[Kieran]

Thought so. That site's not been updated in some while, so It might be wise to get a quote through Taka Kaira or RHD Japan. I bet (If they're still in production) that the price is different.

[phosty]

I already sent an email to RHDJapan asking for a quote on the Pros Engineering downpipes. Will let you know.

Response from RHD on the Isometric Downpipes from Pros Engineering:

Hello,


Thanks for the question. we are currently working on getting better shipping rates and will probably be able to ship that to you for 25,000 plus 98,000 at the moment.




Let us know if you have any further questions!


Happy bidding!
Best Regards!

So that makes it Yen 123,000 = £508 before Import Duty and VAT. So lets say £657 !!!

From the other threads I have read here too it seems opinion is split of whether or not equal length downpipes are of any benefit for Turbo engines. It certainly seems a big premium over the others for what may be a relatively small gain over the unequal length downpipes.......

[Kieran]

Jesus Christ!

Maybe I can live without Isometric downpipes!

[Axeboy]

Just get some made like i did, easy and £300

[Paul C]

Make your own :-although it might of been cheaper to get them custom made for the amount i have spent so far and have nothing to show.

Deciding about down pipe takes long time from you all.

does this down pipe worth the money. How many HP will stock VR4 gain?

[Axeboy]

no idea on gain, but you notice it.... and it sounds great

[richy rich]

The biggest gain you get is the turbos spool so much quicker.

John was getting .8bar at 2100rpm

A good modification after installing a larger intercooler would be these downpipes. Most cars generally have a bit of lag after installing a larger intercooler, but having the downpipes to counter that would mean you almost wouldn't notice..... if it wern't for the kick you now get from it and the whiplash

[MarkSanne]

Ordered mine (the ps-iida v-shaped one) today at rhdjapen.com!

[Kieran]

How much did it cost in the end?

[MarkSanne]

total including shipping & cc costs 454 euro... but the good news is: they now offer it on their own webshop: https://www.rhdjapan.com/home/produc...roduct_id=3308
