[Es2] 200 3b, S2 3b, AAN Downpipe comparison

[Brandon Hull]

Yes, the tub is different for the S2, different PNs etc.  I've always
suspected it was just stampings shaped to accommodate two pairs of cats
and mufflers.  Actually now that I think of it I think the microfiche
shows drawings of this.  My system uses an S4 downpipe, cut off fairly
high, welded to a 3" stainless flex pipe like you see on trucks or '30's
Duesenbergs.  This went into an aftermarket cat, and then the stock
system from there back.  Subsequently I removed the resonator which
changed the tone very slightly.  I have no doubt that the smaller
diameter pipe, restrictive exhaust is limiting power, I never see boost
higher than 15lbs and I figure that's why.  But hey it's just a street
car, how much power do you need? ;-)
