Im planning on getting a downpipe on stock tune. Just wondering anyone has had one installed on stock tune running on stock clutch, has ur clutch held up?

The downpipe without a tune from what i have read doesn't add much over stock.. but with a tune its a different story and you get the full benefit of the DP. As suggested you money would be better spent on a JB4 and then run a clutch-friendly Map 6

I had a DP and IC with no tune for a few weeks on stock clutch, it was OK. Doesn't seem like much power got added although it definitely felt like the turbo spooled a little quicker. It definitely sounded better than stock.

I don't think it's going to make your clutch slip just by doing it, although some people slip on stock power so if you've got a junk clutch from factory it's doomed regardless of whether you add power or not.
