bottomed out...

Postby Benji1989 » Fri Jun 04, 2010 9:14

So I just bottomed out my speed6 on a ridiculous curb drop thing that I didnt see... My metal catylitic converter (i think) has a hole in it :( it is labeled #3 on the streetunit diagram and I think I just need a test pipe? What is the difference between a downpipe and a test pipe though? Does anyone have one for sale?! Any info will help! thanks

test pipe will replace that section where cat #3 is. a down pipe would be just before that section...it goes from the exhaust mani to where cat#3 is.

Depending upon the downpipe, it may replace the cat as well. I think the CPE downpipe replaced the cat and the corksport downpipe does not.
