hey guys just looking at getting a downpipe and trying to go cheap cos im trying to save :p
was wondering if anyone has actually bought a cheap one from ebay?? eg 06 07 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 Turbo 3" Down Pipe Downpipe | eBay
wanted to know fitment and quality etc. but for pretty much $200 delivered its damm cheap!!
already got an exhaust guy lined up who reckons he can install it for 250-300 bucks :2thumb:
The US guys seem to use them often without much fault. But I would rather spend the extra $$$ so it fits/ doesn't have to be swapped when it cracksQuote:

I have it mated to a CPE catback, I had no issues with it lining up, just connect it at the turbo first then bolt it up to the exhaust. Just keep in mind the quote for installing if he hasn't done an MPS before some of them get a shock, it is not an easy task for a first time installer, for the 6 you need to remove the wipers, wiper motor etc, the long black cowl that runs across the back of the firewall so you can get the DP out the top, it will not fit out the bottom in the 6 and plenty of inox/wd40 :)
thanks that was exactly the response i was looking for!! :2thumb: i might just go ahead and get one. and as for the quote iv already told him iv heard its a bitch to install and he spent 10 mins looking under the bonnet and called me the next day with the quote so fingers crossed it doesnt get toooooo much more hahaQuote:
