Best fitting 3" down pipe

3timesT · 10-06-2008, 02:24 PM

Just getting back in the TR scene and it's been a while. Picked up an 86 T-Type. I've had a THDP before and it fit well also had an ATR DP with external WG and that also fit well.

I see lots of sponsors are now selling different types of DPs and I've also noticed that some don't fit so well out of the box.

Some input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

For an internal, I'd find a used THDP. The new alternatives I've seen/installed lately weren't exactly the best fit or quality. External, the Cotton's pipe is my distinct preference, and it's made in house at Cotton's(no chinese garbage).

Is the Cotton's 3" DP made out of SS?
