i am trying to decided on which down pipes to get. i am on a budget fixing my car. i wil need the 5 bolt design.
is z1's dps and tps good quality (welds and materials) or is SZ worth the extra $500, and will there be a huge diff from 3inch vs 2.5.

sadly im willing to sacrafice 10-15 rwhp to fix other parts of the car.

To me, you can't really go wrong with either test pipes because let's face it...they're just straight pipes. But I haven't heard anything bad about the Z1 downpipes, but I do know that the SZ 3" expansion are totally worth the money. Oh and 3" turbo back exhaust is BALLER.
