Can someone explain to me the following terms. I want to get an exhaust but I am confused. I want something from the turbo all the way ( I would prefer all the same brand)

So what is:
J pipe
S pipe
downpipe

what actually makes up our exhaust I thought it was downpipe to exhaust and the exhaust as the cats on it. But I think I am screwed up.

i think its like this

s pipe comes off the turbo, to the jpipe , to the downpipe

The downpipe is the J pipe and the s pipe as a unit. Here is a picture of Corksport's :


From there you have your mid pipe with cats in stock form. And then your cat back.

the s-pipe & j-pipe together makes the DP

Ok so downpipe= a J pipe + S pipe (maybe one unit maybe not) and then the mid pipe and then the cat back...

Thanks for the info.

So is there anyone that makes all three sections? downpipe, midpipe and catback

Ion does and you already have some of their stuff. GHL is the only other company that has the FULL turbo back. I have the Vibrant system which is S-pipe back. Still not sure how significant replacing that S-pipe is.

you can combine the MAM S/J pipe combo and a catback exhaust to make a turboback system. striker187 has a good sticky on it: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43030

Yeah I second the Corkaport exhaust!!! If you have ever heard a WRX with a Blitz NUR Spec exhaust on it....thats what ours sounds like, but with less of a drone.
