Default Searched already...Why doesn't the milltek TIP have a downpipe?

Is it common for all aftermarket exhaust not to have a downpipe for the tip? Also, does anyone have dyno figures for the milltek? I've seen a lot of posts lately how people dyno their car before and after exhaust and actually end up LOSING hp when they add the aftermarket exhaust.

Default it is a different configuration for the TIP

and they are not the same. It would have to have a TIP specific downpipe.

Default sure, the TIP doesn't allow as much room for the pipe

and the way that it would attatch to the trans is different. Neuspeed makes a TIP exhaust with a downpipe but is a 2.25 downpipe and the rest is 2.5. Their 5-speed system is a full 2.5 including the downpipe.

Default OneEighth -- So is this only YOUR 2.5" handcrafted that fits, or is there an aftermarket company?

Also, what the stock diameter, and is 2.25" enough for a k04-15, or would I need a 2.5" all the way back?
