What does a Megan downpipe do?
Megan Racing downpipes replace the stock restrictive factory downpipe with a high flow stainless steel downpipe that improves horsepower and torque to get the most potential from your engine.
What do lower downpipes do?
A downpipe directs the exhaust gases from your vehicle’s turbine housing into your exhaust system. The downpipe bolts right to the turbine housing. It is instrumental in moving the exhaust gases through the system as efficiently as possible. The average downpipe has at least one restrictive catalytic converter.
Does downpipe add torque?
This enables the movement of more exhaust gases at a higher speed, allowing your turbo to spin quicker. In addition to the increased responsiveness of your turbo, you can expect an increase of 15-20 horsepower and torque. Hence, an Armytrix downpipe allows more and easier access of air into your engine.
How much HP do you get from a downpipe?
It’s generally accepted that installing a downpipe will add just 10 to 20 horsepower, but that gain is noticeable when the engine is revved up.
Does a downpipe make your car faster?
Upgraded downpipes provide great increases in horsepower and torque on turbocharged vehicles by allowing exhaust gasses to flow easier as they leave the turbo. Paired with the appropriate software, a downpipe can provide significant gains and make a vehicle more fun and engaging to drive.
Does downpipe make car louder?
Downpipes (catless) will make the exhaust sound more aggressive and deep.
Do I need a tune if I install a downpipe?
Registered. Less backpressure from a less restrictive downpipe = turbo builds boost faster = more air into the engine from the turbo = you absolutely need a new tune to compensate for that.
Are downpipes legal?
To answer the OP’s original question, there is no such thing as a high flow cat or de-catted down pipe that is CA legal.
How much horsepower does a downpipe need?

Do downpipes increase horsepower?
Conclusion. Upgraded downpipes provide great increases in horsepower and torque on turbocharged vehicles by allowing exhaust gasses to flow easier as they leave the turbo. Paired with the appropriate software, a downpipe can provide significant gains and make a vehicle more fun and engaging to drive.
