Default Piggies - cheaper, DIY piggies - cheapest. Unless you go to K04's, I don't think

aftermarket DP's are worth it since the bigger diameter is not really used at lower K03 flows - just my opinion.

Removal/Installation on your car (tip) is a pain either way although I would suspect that aftermarket (bigger diameter) would be even harder.

I plan on this mod, but not until my engine is out. It's possible to do with engine in, but it ain't easy, especially with tip.
