just interested in costing up a downpipe for a 1.4 xs.

 

ive seen a couple on ebay for roughly the 30.00 mark. are these considered cheap? what are people paying for theirs that are good quailty?

 

Thanks

Try AEP Direct, they have one for £25. I recently got an exhaust from them and its top quality stuff.

I've seen 3 different types.

 

1. Has a bit seperating the downpipe into 2 parts inside.

2. No bit in it but very flat and square under the engine.

3. No bit and round all the way.

 

Anyone know what all that's about? Which is better? <_<

Original Peugeot is a mix between 1 & 2. (Seperating part and a flat section where it goes under engine) Aftermarket parts can be any of the three! I've never noticed any difference between them for performance myself.

On my UK rallye I replaced a (rusty) downpipe that had the separator inside (type 1 above) with a cheap bosal pipe that didn't (type 3) - and I lost quite a bit of low-end torque. So I think it is there for a reason!
