Downpipes Catless / Offroad --- PPE or Stainless Works

SwampRat said:
I was getting ready to order PPE catless Downpipes  but Noticed that Stage 3 Motor Sports has Stainless Works catless for quite a bit less .. I would like to keep things in house that are available on the forum BUT ... $576.00  with free shipping .

Any differences with material or craftsmanship ?

bigger pipes/flow.
Workmanship seems otherwise similar except mandrel bends are fewer in PPE and the flex tube (resistance big time) is about 1/2 the length on the PPE.
These throw a code (PPE catted don't) and these only rated 2 of 5 stars by their customers... see the page..
The rest is inconsequential as there is no drone with PPE, et.c... still you decide.
What I know after watching them fit by the fabricator  (Paul)

2.5" diameter vs PPE @ 3.5" diameter = 35% bigger pipes/flow.

I'm going catless ... same 3.5 diameter for those as well ?

one cust review don't say much to me ... besides it was for catted
 
Actually both are 2.5" downpipes and catless to catless.
I know that the CTS-V guys HATE the SW headers
Give me until tomorrow to show specs to Paul so he can rebut, if they're cheaper and same materials (I can't speak on their build quality) then by all means go SW. I know one of the guys on here has them and loves them.

Why do the the CTS-V guys "hate" them  ?  Also  , if the Flexpipe is longer on the PPE  I think that would be a plus for me  , especially with a cutout later .

Those are the catless.  The catted are $150 more in the drop down menu.
 
I made SwampRat an offer he couldn't refuse. :) I can't get to the same price as the SW but I can get close and I strongly believe the PPE are better quality.
