Why just get a downpipe? You can pick up the MBRP 4" exhaust from several of the sponsors here for a great price, here is where I purchased mine (the SS is a bit more):

The WW will help with the turbo surge and you might as well install it when you install the exhaust.

I agreee. The stock downpipe is just part of the restriction in your exhaust. Just replacing the downpipe will only provide minimal gains without upgrading the rest of your system. And, if you're getting a chip, the increased exhaust flow will go a long way to keeping your EGTs down to a safe level.

The WW is a good option for you too. However, if you've got the money, the ATS compressor housing is IMO a better way to go. There are still some reported cases of surge with the WW. The ATS housing will solve the surge problems better than the WW.

Do you have to pay for the stock program as an option on the chip? Or just the performance or custom programs?
