A Front Pipe Is a Front Pipe?

[rondre3000]

Doing an Apex'i exhaust at some point, but now which front pipe to go with? MXP, Greddy, PRL, RV6? Are they all pretty much the same or are their obvious differences that should make my decision easier. I believe there is/was a flex pipe issue on the PRL downpipe that results in a leak down the line. Is this issue also present with their front pipe?

I probably won't be doing a downpipe install for a while so debating on whether I'd even see any benefit to doing a front pipe install now.

Advice from those that have gone thru this already?

I’m curious too. Apex’i also offers a front pipe too. After swaying in the breeze trying to make an exhaust decision, I too plan on going with the Apex’i exhaust.

Yup, they offer a "GT front pipe" but it is also $200 more than an MXP front pipe. Are we just talking brand name tax here, or is there a design difference?

100% agree

I would assume if they all use the same diameter tubing, it basically comes down to craftsmanship.

I have an MXP front pipe for sale for $250 CDN. But Im sure tariifs wouldnt make it worthwhile.

So it looks like both the MXP and Apex'i GT front pipes use 2.75" piping. RV6 and PRL both advertise 3" piping.

I went with RV6 front pipe to go with my Apexi exhaust along with TSP downpipe above it
