Has anyone tried the W-bodystore downpipe?

Didn't even know that existed but it looks decent at least from the pic. Price isn't that bad either. What did you ask them?

Posted

that is a good price, but it doesnt have the cat, so i assume you'll be buying the 02 sim as well ?

I was just gonna chop it and have it welded to my magnaflow cat.

 

I asked them if they're SURE it'll fit a 3100/3400. I also don't know if the location of the flexjoint will get in the way of the sway bar.

on my 3" downpipe, the flex joint is even lower and its not a problem. if they designed it right, and it looks like they did, it will perfectly replace your stock DP.

The other thing I asked them (thought I mentioned it earlier) the distance between the 2 mounting studs is different on a 3800 vs the 3400/3100. It's about 3/8" distance variation. So either they don't know this (it looks identical until you test fit it) or they elongated the holes. I hope it's the latter, because it does look good and the price is decent.

Posted

I bet they just slotted the holes, making it more universal. Doing this would allow for expansion as well.

Brian, that page is actually wrong. Nonetheless, we do offer a catted pipe for the 3100/3400 vehicles. The price on this pipe is $179.99.

 

I had a feeling...Oh well. My local shop can make me one for about $80! Less if I supply the flange and flex.

Holy crap! $180 for a downpipe with cat?!!?!!

 

Doesn't seem like too bad of a price but I gotta see it first. I don't NEED a cat as far as I know.

Posted

Just kinda seems expensive to me. But, then again, downpipes generally sell for the $100 range, high flow cats are about $60, so another $20 to have it fitted and welded up. I guess that isn't too bad now that I think about it.

Posted

Yeah thats what I was thinking. If I get pics and it looks like it'll work, maybe I'll pick it up. My cat has about 35k on it but I was also running rich for a good portion of that :lol:

Posted

Ooo... thats never good for a cat! Give it some milk, it will like you better!

Posted

Hah! But on a serious note, I wonder how much longer your current cat will last.

Posted

it passed NYSI running rich this past February! So honestly I don't know. I tuned the pcm so there's no more issues at the moment.

$180 isn't that bad. When I priced out a ZZP catted 2.5" DP, it was just over $200
