hi there, already have a scorpian de-cat back, maybe not the loudest out there but lovely pops and bags:) thinking of getting a 3" down pipe,is the mongoose one 3"? or like the look of the pduk or blueflame.any opinions on best fit/flow maybe a waste of time as i think my de-cat and cat back are only 2.5" but not sure? lots of questions,any help would be great
also going to get a dream science cais as i want lots of induction noise and a wee dump sound between gears but dont want a dumpvalve,am i likely to get any chatter or dump?

My Mongoose down pipe has a 3" internal bore and I know that the PDUK version does. Not to sure about the blueflame but I would imagine it would also be 3"


Edit: Not sure how easy the DS CAIS is to fit as I have a code:red one fitted to my car
. All I'll say is the standard air box is a right pain in the rear end to remove
. You might need to lower the radiator out the way to help ease the removal of the poxy thing!

DS cias isnt as easy as some i have been told

i have a PDUK downpipe which is the cheapest that i know of...very happy with it

downpipes are a bit of a pain job to do.......watch the turbo bolts dont snap...mine were fine but some have trouble...

its more like the car is gulping air than chatter or dump

I have the Dreamscience CAIS and it gives a loud sucking noise and spool up. When you floor it and lift off it dumps pretty loud and if you floor it and ease off the throttle you get some nice chatter


And yes, it was a pain to fit

I also have the 3" pduk downpipe and its a quality item and no issues with fitting as long as you're carefully. IIRC PDUK have an offer on their downpipes at the mo, send Lee @ PDUK a PM!

do you need new gasket and bolts or are they included. trhanks

You will need 3 new bolts and a gasket, these bolts are £3.30 each from Ford and the gasket a couple of pounds so most don't supply these as std, we do
