for 1-4 $325US.
for 5-7 $315US.
for 8-9 $305US
for 10 + $295US

The group buy ends on December 15th, and the prices above don't include shipping. If we had a bunch of people interested, we could have them shipped together and save some cash. They are already down to $315US and I bet they'll get down to $295 US. Thats about $80 US off the usual price. We need more modified stealths in Canada! Who wants in?:)

This is a good price, but I’m going to T05’s next summer and the DP won’t work with them!

Good luck!

The problem (or not) with this DP is that it replaces not only the front precat, but also the main cat.

Now, if you want to be able to keep your main cat, you need to modify this DP.

We, of course, will need to do that sooner or later in order to pass emissions.

Something like the ATR would be better as it is designed to be used with the main cat...???!!!

Dont mean to step on your toes Shane, but I think i told some guys at the gathering I got my DP done in Thornhill for $600 CAN.

-3" main (2.5" branches?)
-flex section.
-kept main cat.
-replaced front cat with straight pipe.
tried gutting the rear pre-cat, but once he got in there, it was all melted steel (guess cause of the crazy heat back there) and impossible to get out, so he replaced it with pipe! Pre cat eliminators on thier own are more than the cost of the whole setup i got.

Anyway, the place is Optional Performance on Green Ln. in Thornhill (Bayview & hwy 7 area)

The guy recognizes me since i have been going there since my 240SX, and i can walk there from my house, so if anyone is interested in this option, I could go over with you. you always get a better price when someone recognizes you ;)

oh, its just aluminized piping though. I think the one Crazykid is talking about is full stainless.

Scott_93TT - You could just keep your old downpipe and bolt it right back up at emmissions time. Thats what I do, I haven't had a cat for a year and a half.

Fast Eddie - I know I can have one made localy for alot less. A place in burlington will make one for me for $400 all stainless, I just want to make sure I am getting a part that is proven to perform. How did they make pre-cat eliminators for you? does it bolt right to the turbo? And this pipe is only $460 canadian when you do the exchange plus shipping, thats a great deal.

Shane,

So, you just bolt the original front precat, DP, and the main cat back on for emissions???

Is that difficult to do?

right now I have gutted pre cats and a test pipe. When its emmissions time, I just bolt the cat back up drive there, then come home and take it off. No it isn't hard at all to take off the down pipe. Its just a few bolts to take out to drop it.

$400 for an all stainless DP?! Canadian?
Wow, I feel like i got reamed with a Sawzall :)

That sounds like an unbeatable price to me. Why wouldent you go for that one instead of the $300 U.S. (gotta be over $550 Can. + shipping)?

I know the Stillen has been around for a while, but won't a 'Joe's Muffler Shop' 3" pipe, flow the same as a 'Stillen' 3" pipe? Same diameter and same bends...

You could use the 200 bucks you save and top up that NOS bottle:p
