Cheapest downpipe for Canadians ?

So even though I sold off my badmab last summer for about 1/3 of what I paid. I think at $220 shipped to my door they are the cheapest.

Just thought I'd ask you 's if they managed to get a downpipe any cheaper?

I'd do a manual cutout on the stocker but there is no room on it to weld one in :p

ZZP is best for you. And cheapest isnt always best. BTW emissions means you had better be cautious and careful with what you stick on your car, or you will be spending a lot of money trying to get a license sticker for your car. Just sayin'

I really liked the badmab, no emissions here I wouldn't mind the zzp, but really, the badmab I got had beautiful welding done to it. It worked and sounded great!

Though I do want their charge piping so it may make sense to hold off and get it all at once.

I dislike zzp lol. Mostly because they don't sell anything I want. Like charge piping kit similar to hahn for example. And why does it look like the catted downpipe for $60 comes with the $40 angled o2 bung? The high flow cat and the time to weld it in place is only $20?? I mean its a great deal to go catted, rip off to get the angled bung. Who knows!

Angled bung is a good thing. My 02 sensor still went bad with it though. I picked up a catless TurboXS used.

Bad-Mab hands down. I've had mine for over a year and hasn't given me one problem. Awesome fitment and welds

This may sound like a weird question, but did some kid in a loud Cavalier buy the downpipe from you?

Most of Canada doesn't have to worry about emissions

If it helps make you feel better about it, I am very happy with my purchase and it made me love my car even more. Thank you.

As seen by testing, this is it. Gut the rear cat on stock downpipe. Core 2.75" hole in it and call it a day. Good low end torque and good power throughout.

You mean, get a circular whole saw and just drill a hole in the cat? I thought you had to completely gut them out, then install a welded pipe so it's straight through.. Something to that degree. The cat material won't crumble away or something if you just cut a hole through it? :s
