Just because an existing GrimmSpeed Product is one of the best performing, highest quality, fan-favorite parts in the industry, doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. The fully-redesigned GrimmSpeed Version 2 GESI-Catted EJ Downpipe is the perfect example. We took everything that made our original Downpipes so great and brought it to the next level!
The first thing you'll notice is that The GrimmSpeed Version 2 Downpipe is now a 2-piece design. This not only helps to keep the U.S. welding/manufacturing, packaging and shipping costs down to keep the end product within a reasonable price range, but it also allows for easier solo-installation of the pipe.
Another major design change are the cast stainless steel elbow coming off of the turbo and leading into the cat. This not only look phenomenal stamped with the GrimmSpeed logo, but also allows for optimized exhaust flow compared to other aftermarket offerings. We also include a 2nd oxygen sensor bung, giving you the option to run an additional sensor/gauge without having to drill and tap the unit. Included in the kit is a plug for those who aren't running a secondary sensor.
The inclusion of the GESI Catalytic Converter is one of the major changes for the V2 Downpipe. While retaining the high-flow characteristics of our former high-flow cat, the GESI is a much more robust unit in its ability to clean particulate matter that is part of the combustion process, while retaining all the benefits which are expected from a GrimmSpeed Product. It also gives us the flexibility to insert it in a much more desirable and better operating location, mimicking OEM placement.
In our extensive dyno and on-road testing, we found that the GESI Cat performs identically to the 300 cell-count race cats that we utilized on our V1 downpipes. On top of that, we conducted long-term testing over thousands of miles running this downpipe with no tuning and we experienced no check-engine lights in our test vehicles!

GrimmSpeed was founded in 2006 to provide customers with innovative and highly engineered aftermarket products. On a more personal level, we are a group of car enthusiasts in the lovely city of Minneapolis, Minnesota who are absolutely passionate about what we do. Our bread and butter started out anything Subaru. However, after growing our team and engineering expertise, we started developing products for Mitsubishi, Ford, MazdaSpeed, and Hyundai markets. We are a true garage start-up (single stall townhouse garage in Maplewood, MN) and we've been lucky enough over the years to be able to turn it into exactly the business we had dreamed of....actually, much more. We have a wide breadth of product offerings including: intercoolers, exhausts, intakes, gaskets, engine pulleys, phenolic spacers, boost controllers, and many more.
Most of our decisions at GrimmSpeed are based on 3 basic principles:
1. Innovation
Our team knows that if they propose a project there has to be at least one new innovative feature. It may be a completely new idea or an innovation to a current product on the market. We truly love creating products that really work and make an impact on the enthusiast community.
2. Keeping Jobs in Minnesota
Lets face it, manufacturing in the US has been lost for a long time. It's sad because manufacturing is what this great country was founded on. Our goal is to do our part in bringing it back to the US. Lets show the rest of the world that we do still 'have it'. Almost all of our partners are right here in Minnesota, most of which are within an hour drive of us. Its not always about the $$ and we are here to prove that.
3. Customer Service You Deserve
What flies for customer service these days just continues to astonish us. We don't have to tell you guys, I'm sure you are all well aware of some of the terrible customer service that goes on these days, especially in our industry. Our goals are to be honest with you, if something is going to be delayed, we aren't going to give you some made up date when it will be ready....we will tell you exactly the most current info we have. If you need help installing our products we will be there on the phone or email ready to help until you have figured out the issue. Last but not least, we will keep our word. If we say we are going to call you back, we actually will.
