Default Downpipe Question...

A friend of mine described a downpipe design where the top of the DP (where it meets the turbo) is separated into two tubes, one feeding directly off of the turbine and another that feeds off of the wastegate. The two tubes meet up about 6 inches downstream and the rest of the DP design is "normal". The theory is that the turbulence caused by have the extra room at the top of the DP (where the turbine and wastegate meet) sacrifices power and delays spool up.

Does anyone know of a similar DP design for our cars? I've tried searching, but it's a pretty wacky thing to describe (as I've so dedicatedly demonstrated).

TIA. Sorry for the horrible grammar, it' 3am.

Talk to Slick ***** / Simmply, here... He sells LaBree directly, at a good price.

Are you stock Cat-back ? You could consider LaBree DP's, after you get rid of that thin straw ;-)

Default The duals work well...

I like the AWE Twin2, but others like the AWE Twin1 or Forge SuperDual, and still others like the ASP TruDual.

For me, the AWE Twin2 is a quiet performer.

I had the APR Stealth on my previous S4. It was wonderful until I went to Stage III, after which it became a restriction of note.
