hey guys,
I am sure this has been asked a billion times was a little bit lazy sifting through all the threads to find out what i wanted . Why is it you pay almost $1000 for a down pipe from Cobb _--------.> COBB TUNING STAINLESS STEEL 3" DOWNPIPE W/CAT MAZDASPEED 3 TURBO 571202 | eBay but the same kinda thing with a bell mouth and 02 sensors from the states for like $230 shipped ? and my other question is you can get a test pipe built into the down pipe which i believe cuts out the catalytic converter ? is that illegal in Australia ?
I guess why i ask is i just want a cheap way to modify my exhaust and it being legal and not to sound like a WRX rice burner. I have read somewhere in here that you can delete a couple of things and simply replace the down pipe and off you go ? . I found this one on E-bay without the built in test pipe or cadalytic removed and i am pretty keen ? Downpipe Exhaust Mazdaspeed 3 Turbo MS3 Mazda Speed 06 | eBay
I just want to know what other option there is on the cheap side to finish it off ? like i said i have read something in here but can find it lol Do i get the one that has the cadalytic converter chopped ? or the one above ?

Any help guys much appreciated...... cheers
I am not to concerned if the cheaper ones have like 10 less horsepower due to design or whatever just a cheap way to gain a bit more horsepower and to justify that extra $700 bucks will need to be good lol. Also i cant spend $1000 on the part, due to my marriage then being over lol..........
