There are loads of threads about downpipes but I could not find my answer.
I think I have a stage 1 mapped S3 AMK (at approx 240bhp) and am not looking to do any further power mods - I am pretty sure the flexi section of my downpipe is leaking, Most threads are about trying to fit a 3inch downpipe and the fitment difficulties and potential benefits.
What about simply fitting a standard part? they are about £100 from eurocarparts if you pick a discount weekend. or is the reason mine is leaking because it was mapped in the first place?
my real questions are?
- will fitting a standard downpipe be a lot less bother than an uprated downpipe - or will it still take me 7-8 hours of fiddling and struggling with space, rusted/seized nuts etc?
- are those flexi pipe repair kits absolute garbage or could it be a stop gap up to the MOT (just to see if the car has lots wrong)
Thanks for you help
