Anybody bought/used a downpipe from this company?

[dragrazor]

I am in the market for a downpipe and came across this company selling a terry Houston style downpipe. Anybody have any feedback on this? Thank you in advance. The downpipe is towards the bottom of the page.

I referred you to that post just so you know the kind of shop that you are dealing with. There are other downpipes available from more reputable shops. As you can tell, I know nothing about how the pipe fits.

Buy an rjc and don't be cheap. But once ans don't but twice.

See how many people run rjc pipes vs any of the current market competitors. You will see rjc is the majority.

Did you search for GBody? Maybe in the Vendor Customer Service section?

Like I said. Don't look at the price. That one will most likely fit like crap. Then you gotta spend extra just so the exhaust has to line up. Guess where you are at now. Price of an rjc pipe. Been there done that. Get the rjc. /thread

Gotcha

Unless I missed something, are these pipes on White's website new or used? Is TH making pipes again?

 

[dragrazor]

I believe that the site has not been updated and these are real THDP's that are no longer available new.

 

[BobbyBuick]

the website is old and outdated unless they bought a load of them over a decade ago and are selling them at the price a decade ago .i would lean you toward Jason Crammer RJC for a new one or look for a used THDP only 2 internal gate pipes i would trust

that white site is a decade old
terry houston made pipes generally they were 3" SS but also built a few 3.5" and they fit perfet and worked without issues period, he isnt making them and hasnt for almost a decade

the terry houston design has stuck as the name to describe any pipe that has the same appearance of houston pipes with the wastegate puck in the flange of the pipe which eliminates the stock cast elbow .

atr , ,mease , TA , red, GN1perf gbody, rjc and others made pipes over the years that are technically terry houston style

atr (out of business) ...the pucks were 1 3/8 but had sticking issues , the pipes fit well
mease (still welding but not making buick stuff right now) made some nice ones and his came with 1.5" pucks
gbody , gn1 and others had a shiny off shore stainless version but pucks were too sloppy

the rjc is the only terry houston style pipe that i know of thats still available for purchase new

all the others including one from terry you'd have to find used
