    I bought the downpipe used 2 years ago and attached it to a ubend delete my cousin made up for me, so its probably not that pretty anymore lol, doubt I would get much for it.
    I want to take my hvIII out and sell it but I am tuned for it and don't think it would not be a good idea to take it out.

    You're not tuned for an hv3. Don't kid yourself.

    Yeah, I don't think there are any tuning specifics for the HV3 so removing it will not be an issue!! Also, pretty down pipe or not, it's a down pipe with the u-bend deleted out, take a pic of it and throw it and the HV3 in the for sale area see if you get any bites. Sure someone wants it!!!

    I'm pretty sure that the exact opposite is true.

    Right.. Since I put mine in and took it back out without changing the tune.... It's not a high dollar engine that is affected by each tiny little flow mod.

    So you never tuned for the hv3 at all? Then that makes sense why there wasn't much issue when it was removed. He is already tuned for it, so it would be an issue to remove it (although relatively minor).


    And yes, still interested in the hv3 just need pics.

    I tuned the car... Installed it... Tuned it a month later again.... Then uninstalled it. No difference but a little less top end.

    Quit acting like it makes a difference when it doesn't. Obviously you've never installed one in a car.
