Those who've done piggie pipes or down pipes...was cost/benefit worth it?
considering new downpipes, have chip, cat back and custom intercooler (will post on that later), and to top it off I was thinking piggies or Miltech down pipes. I want more power, less spool time, and heat reduction (if it does anything), however either option is pricy, as I will pay someone to do the labor, I don't have the time or inclination to do so myslef. Will do stage 3 in a few more years, not now.
Thoughts appreciated, Q-PIG.

I'd say it depends on how far you want to go with the car in terms of power.
If you're definitely going stage III then d/p's are essential imho. Bigger diameter, better airflow... Plus I've known people who get strange noises and rattling out of their gutted piggies. If stage II is the goal, then I wouldn't waste the money on d/p's. Btw, miltek d/p's and catback sound amazing at stage II and III...
