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.

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

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.

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 )
