pros and cons of downpipes?

Forcefed3 · 07-20-2010, 04:59 PM

do you take the downpipes off when going to get the car serviced?

it doesnt seem like something they would notice.

you'd be retarded to take your car to shop to get it installed/uninstalled everytime you went in for service.

But simple answer is, no. You just keep them on and hope they don't see it, if they do, say bye bye to your warranty.

I ment do it yourself, but yea I guess you can just leave them.

repost, but can anyone running VK Motorwerks DPs comment on the fit/sound/quality/etc? they definitely seem to be among the cheapest out there, at $350 shipped...

I want these so bad but emissions here (colorado) are kind of a bitch. Im hoping i can get these on and off within a day.

i just installed my this past weekend, got it used from another person on this forum. Fit is perfect. I did have a lot of trouble installing it though, mostly due to how limited the spaces are under the car, and how tight everything was especially since my car isnt that new(2007).

WD40 or PB buster is a must.

Expect to start friday night, and hopefully finish sunday night so you have something to drive to work on monday

I installed a stage 3 intake and a jb4 also a muffler delete and thinking about getting a catless downpipe. How much would it be for install and what are the downs on getting this product?

I would suggest doing it yourself. It took me and a friend about 2.5 hours to do a full exhaust install and downpipes with the car on ramps and jack stands and a creeper. At least for me, it was not as bad as people make it seem. Just make sure to do things in the right order (O2 sensor replacement and dp placement) and you should be good
