got.pho and I were chattin about this...

I think many of us who have an Invidia would love the ability to be able to add a downpipe that fits without having to cut up the Invidia. From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the both the WMW and Milltek downpipes are about the same length as the stock one, which means they would fit the Invidia with no cutting!

Does anyone know if this is true? Hopefully Way can chime in here....

 

Ohhh! I want to find this out too! Someone please help lol.

 

i emailed Way...right after i bought some black wow =]

 

Keep us posted, after looking at the pics myself, it looks like either downpipe should work with the Invidia system...but getting them seperately might be the issue as well?

 

Very interested in this for sure!!!

 

I just e-mailed the USA branch of Invidia (jetworld i think or something...) asking them if invidia has any plans of making one, since they do make downpipes for other cars...i'll post if i hear anything back from them.

 

If you find one let me know!!!!

 

Any response from WMW?

 

According to way, no aftermrket DP fits OE exhaust..

but he said he could sell His to be welded onto w/e application, whether it be invidia or OE

 

Did he give ya a price for it?

 

I didnt ask, but im guessing in the neighborhood of his turbo back minus the cost of catback alone. 1699-699...thats alot, guess another email needs to be sent haha

 

I was talking to exhaust depot and he can do the same a lot cheaper and we can insall the downpipe to the invidia exhaust with a v clamp.

 

You still have to cut the Invidia though.

I would have bought one of his a long time ago if that were the case.

 

What about having an exhaust shop make a replacement downpipe that will work with the Invidia catback? Would that be that much more money than buying an aftermarket one? I've never had any custom exhaust work done so I have no idea...I can weld stainless so I wonder if I could pick up some bends and do it myself lol...hmmm any member want to donate their factory downpipe they already replaced with an Alta one or something?

 

Im making a DP for some one soon to work with an invidia but it needs modifications. He will be cutting of the flange on the invidia and will be welding on another flange on to that and onto the DP that im working on . The DP will be the same length as the stock one except that it will be a full 2.5" piece.

If some one local was to come by, i could make one to where all you had to do was cut off teh invidia flange then slip the new DP on thent no welding would be required and the average person with a hacksaw could install it.

 

Couldn't you be able to make the down pipe with proper flange to bolt right up?
I dont know anything about the exhausts,but the flanges are avil,No?

 

As posted in previous threads, there is no way to make a direct bolt on unless you spend thousands in special tooling to make that connection. The oem connection is right after the bend, the pipe is flared. There is not enough material to grip the pipe to make the flare.

I dont see anyone investing in the tooling to make a setup like that unless they have a big contract to do so or have the tooling on hand already.

 

A simple cut is no big deal, your not touching the OEM parts so you can always undo it. What you cut on the invidia you can always reweld back on.

catback = sound, DP = power.
