RHD and LHD downpipe differences?

Jules-B · 03-21-2010, 05:57 PM

Hi all

looking at buying some catless DP's

I was told that they are different on the RHD to LHD, due to the power steering pump. But then found other information that said they would fit fine.

Does anyone know what would need to be modified if i were to buy dp's from the USA.
Also any manufactures to avoid/recommend?

Thanks
Jules

There is a good recent thread on this topic in this section. Basically, you need the AR downpipes, they are the only manufacturer to offer RHD catless downpipes - certainly the only ones that wil give excellent fitment. Import from a US retailer from the classified pages no problem.
