97 Psd Downpipe

Is a bigger downpipe on a stock 97psd 5spd straight pipe coming out in front of the back tire going to make a differance? A buddy is thinking about it but isn't sure if its worth the pia.

You will see more of a difference upgrading the downpipe on a 1997 than you will with the rest of the exhaust system. Since your buddy already has the rest of the system done, YES, CHANGE THE DOWNPIPE!!!!!

I would say yes too!! The factory down pipe is really flattened out down by the firewall - go for it!
