Difference Between Testpipe, Racepipe and Downpipe

[KevinWP]

I'm probably going to get torn to pieces for this post since at some point in history it's been covered. Screw it, I'll ask again.

I'm new to the MS3 and am not familiar with turbo'd cars. What is a testpipe, racepipe and downpipe? Do you have/need all 3? Are all 3 street legal? I'm trying to gather my list of future mods for the '12 I picked up yesterday.

You shouldn't have asked again.

[Stealth01]

Test pipe and race pipe pretty much the same. Downpipe is from turbo to first cat, I think.

My test pipe replaced cat #2.

[Dash08]

Just buy them all. Figure out what you really need later.

Better yet, fuck it. Don't run any of them. Mo powah because race car.

SEARCH!!!!!! Then you would know that those items shouldn't be on your radar until you:
1: have a way to tune for em (Cobb ap)
2: hpfp solution (internals or cpe pump)
3: look into RMM's (many vendors)
4: read and search more

Test pipe/race pipe (replace 2nd cat) are used interchangeably and a downpipe is from turbo to cbe usually replacing stock dp and 2nd cat

My opinion is ap/intake/RMM/internals
Then install those and enjoy an OTS map until you decide where u wanna go with the build.... Stock exhaust is fine for light mods.... *remember to stock out for stealership visits

*edit* DONATION MOD SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST ONE!!!

1 thing to add, aftermarket dp's can come in short style(only replaces #1) or long style(replaces #1 & #2).

This forum is seriously filled with fucking assholes. Not everybody understands the lingo and not everybody is a gearhead. This place is to ask questions and learn and just because a topic has been covered at some point in the past, doesn't mean it exactly answers a persons questions. I've been a part of many forums in the past and this one is hands down the worst.

Go fuck yourselves.

NOT A GOOD START FOR THIS BROWNIE

I don't have any problem with you not being a gearhead or understanding the lingo, but if you can't even understand basic english, like the thread title I mentioned in the new members section, then why are you on this forum? You've already demonstrated you know how to start posts and type English words in them, and guess what: perusing the various sections is not much more difficult, nor is searching.

[ricknm]

You got the info you needed, then two or three people call you a newb, and you bash the entire forum?

Just ignore it. You will learn more here about the car then any other forum. First thing you need to do is grow some thick skin, then start modding your car. Trust me, the info you will learn on here is worth more then leaving because of two guys calling you a newb.

forum vet ?... yet butt hurt when told to search...


Your kind is not needed here

[Sid3wayS]

Other forums are suppoted by companys who dont care answering the same question a million times. This forum is supported by the members and we dont want our forum full of useless threads like this, that is why we are assholes to people who cant take a couple hours to read up on the car they just purchased. And before you go making more useless threads:
All intakes are about the same hp gain
All blow off valves make the same wosh sound and dont offer any HP gain
The loudest exahust is a catless 3" pipe straight back
Our cam driven fuel pump tends to start to fail after adding mods and upping boost
And a brownie is someone who hasnt donated.
And lastly the search function is your best friend here

We dont support laziness and definetly dont spoon feed children.
Good luck and welcome to MSF.

[themytb]

The fuck is so hard about searching/reading? Every time I'm feeling nice and throw some info to a fucking brownie who didn't search, he just asks some more stupid fucking questions. Then follows up with some whiny bitch shit after someone tells him to search.
LESSON LEARNED!
SYFN from now on.

[Mortose]

next OP is going to say he has an eclipse named (insert stupid fucking name here).

No dipshit this one is the BEST because we force you to learn the shit for yourself and not have shit spoon fed to you like a baby sucking on a tit. Stop being so thin skinned. We have all gone through it. And in case you are still wondering why we WON'T spoon feed it to you, it's because this site is ran purely by members and their donations. We aren't going to put our own time and money into something AND just give you all the fucking info as well. If you had searched and read the sticky's (the threads at the too since you are obviously very forum knowledgable) there is an acronym thread that explains all of that. So stop being a little bitch and take some responsibility for your stupid actions. If you dot want the best Information and want to be treated "nice" go to mazdas247.com

[Crarrs]

Yup. Told you that you shouldn't have asked.

No, you go fuck yourself. You knew what was going to happen when you started this thread. A quick search which would've taken a whole 5 mins would have answered your questions.

Now fuck off.

[adrager622]

This forum may be filled with assholes, but they are only assholes when they see the same stupid questions asked over and over again. If you can actually have thick skin and take it, there are plenty of knowledgeable people here. If you can't take it, may wanna head over to mazdas247.

[Fermion]

based on the OP's lack of maturity in his random explosion and his unwillingness to actually do some reading on his own, it sounds like he is the typical-I turned 16 and my dad and mom bought me a MS3 kid. I am sure he is working hard to gain some cash to buy some mods so I will give him the benefit of a doubt that he actually wants to gain some knowledge.

As some others have already said, this forum is the best, but you actually need to do some reading and get some thick skin. You knew you would get torn apart based on your original post, but still had to chime in. If you want to act immaturely expect to be treated in the same manner.

[fooqr]

Oo! This is a good one. Let's analyze and see where this brownie went wrong, shall we?

OK, this was actually a really good start. OP gets a freebie due to this insight.

See now, your freebie was already used up. Now you're in trouble. It was the second question that did you in.
