Piper Manifold Anyone ? ** Just had it fitted and mapped **

[Zen1]

Just wandered if anyone had fit one of these on their Dc5 or know any more about them?
Fancy one with the sports cat.

i cannot see how that can produce 22hp just as a bolt on, maybe with kpro etc, but not a chance without

I agree.

No matter what tuning is needed to make if anything close to those numbers. The only company header/exhaust setup that I know that could produce numbers like that is HYTECH and even then you need K-Pro and good tuning to achieve that if not more power. But they are pricey and they take forever to recieve after ordering them (at least 5-6 months) but I have heard and have experienced it taking longer.

So far here (UK) the best numbers have been produced with a Buddyclub header followed by Toda and then Spoon (loses out lower down but works well at high rpm, )

The sports-cat sounds interesting (I'm not one for re-fitting parts just for a MOT).

If I've got a Gruppe M and Mugen Twinloop catback and I then get this manifold fitted does anyone know if it's safe to run without KPRO?
Ideally I'd like to do the two together but it would be a nice inbetween stage.

generally its the mani coupled with a decat that will make them run lean

I have one on mine, the sound is awesome!

before the S/C I was running a Spoon N1 rear box and standard mani and B pipe. I fitted the piper manifold (decat version) and its soooo loud, good build and excellent fit. no complaints.

I know CPL very well and he says its the best manifold out there, and has the option for a cat. I got mine because I knew the S/C was going in within a few weeks and he said it will give more gains than the DC Sports etc.

My dyno chart is in the sticky at the top.

What do you think about the DC sports main.

Re: Piper Manifold Anyone ?

This is listed for the EP3 - will it fit the DC5 100% correctly? It is very attractive for Production Class motorsport as the price is good and it has a proper motorpsorts CAT.

Re: Piper Manifold Anyone ?

Just got back from Tdi North after having a remap with this piper 4-2-1 manifold and sports cat.

4 1/2 hours later and approx 12 dyno runs I got 250bhp and 171.2 lbft torque.
Took longer than normal as paul had never mapped the piper on a Dc5...only Ep3's.
He said it acheived over 250bhp on a number of occasions but settled on the final map of 250bhp for reasons more technical than I understand.

Really happy with the results and don't have to worry about emmisions comes mot time.

Great results there mate, good stuff.

Id be interested in this if it gave gains of the DC Sports mani..Id be goin with the decat version
