difference in DP's

hi guys,

Curious to know if anyone has any experience in the difference in DP's power increase and brands.

I would have thought that overall if the size of the DP are the same and made of the same metal, they would have similar output; taking internal surface quality / smoothness into consideration ofcourse.

e.g AR Vs other brands.

if your argument is that Ar are more expensive and thats why they are better, please dont bother replying.

I don't believe there are any performance advantages from brands, as they offer the same 3inch catless dp anyways. I think it really just comes down to the fitment on RHD cars.

so the advantage of going for expensive catless compared to cheap catless; same material, size and fitment would be minimal to none.

There is no real performance gain size to size, its all about the fit quality as some are a real bitch to fit and make exhaust gas tight.
Remember that our cars are RHD and most dumps are for LHD.
Best to purchase the BMR dumps from Stuart as i now the fit up is the best you will find, We have spent a fair bit of time with these dumps getting the mods 100% right.

BMR are a better fit up, the mid pipe flanges fit up square so there is no leakage

I already have Dp's. but i was just curious about it this as people are selling some really expensive ones when there are cheaper alternatives.
