A fully divorced wastegate bypass tube ensure minimal exhaust backpressure and low turbulence in the critical area just downstream of the turbine discharge. This piece replaces the first cat section in the factory exhaust system, greatly improving turbo spool-up and power output

Pros:
Easy Install, good sound to exhaust
Cons:
I would say any down-pipe of this design is going to be the same. It was easy to install and came with the upper gasket, but not the lower gasket. Didn't notice any real gain in power, though I'm sure there was some. This down-pipe added a deaper sound to the exhaust and a little bit of a popping noise when down-shifting. The only thing I didn't really like about it is how it looks. I would rather have something a little less showy, possibly in flat black or just an aluminum color.

Pros:
Sound and some power
Cons:
none
Buy header wrap for this unit.The stocker is covered in heat sheilds for a reason. Especially if you are running any cats downstream from here. The stock downpipe is s$%t ! If you change it out you will see how bad the exit path for the wastegate actually is. There is no doubt that separate downtube design is the best. fit and finish are excellent. I noticed no change in exhaust note.

Perfect fitment

Beautiful piece and great fitment. Worth the money if you are building your tirboback or are just doing a downpipe. Nice gains with some intersting turbo sounds.

Pros:
Excellent Quality / Fitment / Power Gains
Cons:
none
I purchased this downpipe as part of a turboback package from another member. After using a PDE and Helix downpipe, this one is great! The quality and fitment is excellent and the power gains are great! The only negative aspect I would say are the flanges. They tend to rust faster than anything else. I would recommend it to everyone!
