No, that's an exhaust system. This connects to the downpipe. Acually the only downpipe I see there is te JT one that has no catalytic converter in it. With that your car won't pass emissions unless you weld a cat in there.

Is there another place that I could get a downpipe for my car that you know of?

Default RE: 3" downpipe for 150$!!

Thanks. I have a couple of questions. First, what exactly will I gain with a downpipe? Second,is jak stoll reliable? And third, is a downpipe easy to install yourself or should you take it to a dealer?

Also I was wondering what the differences are between these: http://www.jakstollperformance.com/9000.html-within this link the early and late downpipes.

a downpipe alone will show little gain....a downpipe with exhaust and intake working rogether can show quicker spool-up and some additional power.

I am already getting a B&B cold air intake. Would getting a downpipe be worth it if I still have the stock exhaust system?

actually yes. You will not see a big increase with the stock exhaust, but you will see quicker spool-up...and once you get the exhaust....it'll be all worth it.

Okay, would the exhaust at http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/i...hp?cPath=64_66work with the downpipes at Jakstollperformance? (By the way did you find a difference between the early and late downpipes at http://www.jakstollperformance.com/9000.html?)
