Legacy GT Downpipe Kit

The Crucial Racing Systems downpipe is manufactured to the highest standards using 100% 304 stainless for the pipes AND flanges, ensuring perfect fitment and long life. This 2.5” pipe will bolt to your stock midpipe, or any aftermarket midpipe designed to replace the stocker (including our racepipe and highflow catalytic converter pipe, available on the midpipes' page). It features a divorced wastegate design, and the wastegate tube is extended farther than the competition to just next to the bottom of the main exhaust pipe to minimize turbulence in the exhaust gas flow, maximizing boost response, throttle response, and power. Additionally, the wastegate dump tube enters the main exhaust pipe at the shallowest angle possible, further reducing any turbulence.

The pipes and flanges are coated with the highest quality metallic-ceramic thermal protective barrier available today (2000 F is its constant-heat rating and at 2400 F the coating still retains its integrity) to keep under-hood and intercooler temperatures significantly lower and to maintain higher exhaust gas velocity for more power. This thermal coating also protects the metal itself from heat and from the corrosive elements inherent in exhaust gas and, obviously, from weather elements. Extreme care is taken during the coating application process to ensure that the coating is applied consistently and will never fail. To find out more information on this coating Click Here.

The Crucial downpipes are TIG welded at upper and lower flanges. The pipes on the upper flange are fully TIG welded internally for smoother exhaust flow and better expansion properties. The wastegate dump tube is MIG welded to the main exhaust to ensure a complete seal while allowing the merge at a nice, shallow angle.
