Ebay turbo downpipe, experiences?

Post by ToyotaTosh »

I've realised my downpipe is cracked , so to replace it I was looking at these Ebay efforts.

The one on the car at the moment is an xs power one, iam wondering if there is much difference bewteen the two ?

Has anyone bought one from Ebay?

Get a Berk from gtschris. They have a flexi built in and solve all the cracking problems.

+1 It maybe 3 times the price but will last 10 times as long.

Also The one you linked to says "Please note needs minor mods to fit the rev 3" iirc its not that a minor mod to fit a rev 1/2 DP to a Rev 3. I might be getting that mixed with something else tho :thumleft:
