So it sounds like it went like this:

YOU: Hey friend, this downpipe you keep referring to, is it the exhaust manifold?

HIM: No

YOU: Oh. I guess I will go ask on ATOT.

 
No a downpipe is part of a turbo system.... A downpipe helps the exhaust system flow better and allows the turbo to spool up quicker.... /END of thread
 
Wow you guys. Downpipe goes from the end of the exhaust manifold to the cat, then theres the cat-back exhaust system. It is synonomous with N/A And FI cars.

There is also often an uppipe in turbo ssytems that goes from the O2's to the downpipe.

A downpipe isn't exclusive to a turbo equipped vehicle numbnuts.
