Ok, at first I was weary about buying a downpipe that cost $75 shipped, but two of my friends already had them on their cars. After installing one on my sti today I wont ever waste my money on a different downpipe again. The fitment is perfect, and its super light. I sold my Cobb catted downpipe for $450, and do not regret doing it. As long as the welds hold on this thing everything is good to go. |

I have a TurboXS 4" and like it.

Ha, I just figured I would let other people know my experience with it. I wish I could have found someone to trade a stock downpipe for a bellmouth. |

Yeah, I traded a dealership's used car department for the exhaust. They couldn't legally sell a catless car and they didn't want to pay the ridiculously high price for the new OEM downpipe (something like 700+). |

Interesting... considering the new cats had far lower mileage than the car itself and the fact that the car already had a buyer arranged it seemed like a good deal. Definitely under the table though. |

Its cheap, efficient, light, and fits good. What else is there to ask for haha. I did notice that there is an overlap of metal just inside the downpipe. I didn't have that kind of thing on my Cobb piece. |

My buddy has had this same downpipe for almost 2 years in the salty midwest with no problems. |
