New exhaust manifold upgrade. Do I need to replace down pipe too?

I drive a 05 em2. And plan to install a new exhaust manifold, I was wondering if replacing the downpipe is necessary?

Cant seem to find an answer.

Thanks for checking the thread, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Cheers!

I've never seen an aftermarket setup that doesn't include the lower half that attaches to the rest of the exhaust

did you purchase another oem manifold or an aftermarket one/header?

Some companies offer a "shorty" header which is just the top half. It should bolt up to the existing lower half.
