Anybody tried an aftermarket downpipe or have had their downpipe ceramic coated?
was wondering if anybody had any input on downpipes and how much hps you might gain. I saw that on the german MTM site they list a downpipe but not on the US site. Is this because with a different turbo the flange size is different? anybody thought about gettin their downpipe extrude honed or polished? to improve flow?

I have a custom 2.5" Stainless Steel Downpipe..
and it makes a BIG difference up high. Turbo spools up quicker, but takes a little longer to build max boost (little more lag). Going to ceramic coat it once I get my Stage3+ upgrade

Hey thanks for input.. I probably goin to go the ceramic route. I dont see the
point in going with an aluminzed coating, because it doesnt offer the same heat retention properties of ceramic coatings.. will get some prices and post them.
