PT Tuning Down Pipe for the GT

[Mr.Barton]

The downpipe is the link between the exhaust and the ....manifold? Right?

From what I understand, stage 2 will work it's best with a completly stock engine.

Actually, the Mopar site states...

quote:Optional Mopar Performance Cat-Back Exhaust System (P4510461) required to achieve these power ratings.

for Stage 2. Stage 1 and Stage 2 state...

quote:- Optimized calibration for the MOPAR blow off valve conversion kit

So apparantly, the Mopar BOV conversion kit is required as well.

Nope, dont think so![8D] The MOPAR BOV is just for noise and fun not for additional power.[:I] I think what they are saying is that stage 1 and stage 2 are designed to give you max noise with your MOPAR BOV!

Is adding the maxxfab 02 housing going to do anything for me after going to stage 2 or equivalent??[:0]

WOW! T304 SS!! That looks SWEET!!! The DP looks rather short, compared to the other DPs I've seen. Also, I wonder what cat they're using.

DP is only $280 at maxxfab add $10 for extra bung and $5 to cover the extra bung.

02 housing is only $160 at maxxfab and I think you might get a discount if buying both at same time.

Cost isn't everything and most of the time you get what you pay for. I have seen the pic of the Max Fab unit on their Web site and I have seen three different pics of it installed and the DP's were two different pieces, which one is it? Too me, the ones installed looked like crap and I'm still not impressed with the one pictured on the website. The turbo outlet is only 2"( approx.) and the Max Fab o2 housing is 3" with no transition from the outlet. The BTG O2 housing( or Down Pipe) matches the turbo outlet and transitions to 2 1/2" at the CAT, very good for flow.

I think you should contact BTG and get some specifics before suggesting someone else's product over BTG's, especially since I posted this topic about the BTG DP.
