TA performance 3" down pipe

[Dreamn4GN]

looking like in going to grab one of these. But im curious if anyone knows what size puck these down pipes have. Looked on several websites. Doesn't give much info on the pipe at all. Any fitnent issues with these? I've read a few have had success but these threads were almost 10 yrs ago. Any info or opinions on the pipe would be appreciate

Call Nick Micale. He's a TA dlr and can tell you the puck size.

 

[Dreamn4GN]

Thanks. I'll try and message him so I don't take up much of his time.

The puck on a TA 3" down pipe is 1-3/8".

Is bigger better in this situation? Rjc has the 1 5/8" puck with their 3"

I've been able to hold boost with the RJC pipe with the biggie puck on my car...with the wastegate hole ported. If you're stuck on the TA pipe...then I'd do some research into how fast guys have gone with it. Time is in my sig. Both RJC and TA make high quality products for our cars.

I'm only looking to go in the 11's really. Which I know the stocker can get me there. But putting in a new turbo once I get trans and converter,I'm going to upgrade the down pipe. But looks like I'll be holding off on the down pipe right now till I get the trans funded. Thanks for the response.

If you have a die grinder you can port the stock exhaust elbow for better flow. If you haven't done so...gut the cat. Both are free HP... and all it takes is some of your time.

Yeah I got a test pipe in along with a single shot. Looking to have 3" all the way through all said and done.

When I first purchased my car I immediately gutted the cat. It was a vast improvement.

Did it develop exhaust drone by doing that?

 

[Dreamn4GN]

Definitely helped with spooling with the test pipe.

It was so long ago that I honestly can't remember.
