It is a part of the exhaust system. If you get one that is bigger than stock, it will reduce back pressure. Most cars will get a bump in power.

down pipe is a differnt kinda of smoking pipe. when you smoke out of it, it gives you a downer instead of an upper

seriosly though it routes all your engine fluids out and under the car to make it lighter.

it will make your diamond plate mats go flying out from under your car.
Kinda like the fast and the furious?

a downpipe makes vtech kick in at about 3,000 rpm as opposed to 10,500.

Um, downpipe also known as "loudpipe" helps improve sound quality and looks great under your car:D

a downpipe is a miniature version of the Budweiser horse.

Downpipes are for ricers. Just run open exhaust and you'll be fine. Instant 70+whp gain. :goodjob:

haha
in all seriously - a downpipe ( larger than stock ) allows for better engine breathability as well as flow - its especially important on turbocharged cars ( to make the breath better )
