Turbo Down Pipe Front Pipe and Outlet Pipe

A Turbo Down Pipe (known as a Front Pipe here in Japan) with an outlet pipe is a great way to start tuning your turbo equipped car. As the same with the intake you want to remove restrictions to the exhaust gasses running out of the turbo so that the turbo can spool up faster and more freely.

The outlet pipe is the elbow pipe that directly connects to the turbo and vents down. This pipe is a short pipe and will often have an O2 mounting hole in it. There are two types of front pipes. The first front pipe style is a pipe that connects to the outlet pipe and goes to the catalytic. There is another front pipe and this is the type that includes the outlet pipe in it so it looks like the two of the above pipes connected as a full unit with no bolts and flanges connecting them. This style is the style that you get when you order big turbine kits but lately this style has been made available for stock turbines as well.

The OEM setup is constrictive and will not allow your turbo to flow to its full potential. It is an easy swap, relatively cheap and there are many that can be used with your stock turbo. A very popular set up for the beginner tuner is to go with a down pipe and outlet pipe, exhaust, suction intake kit, boost controller, and AFC.

Turbo Down Pipes come in steel, stainless steel, and titanium. Although we like titanium if you are drifting or road racing they are fragile and you will most likely damage it if your car is lowered. We recommend stainless steel units from Trust. Tomei outlet pipes are very nice as well.
