what's your thoughts on this

Looks kinda like the usdm, minus the second cat. Isn't this down pipe slightly shorter though?

 

yep its like an inch or so

 

it's not my cup of tea. Doesn't look much different/better than the usdm. If I were going jdm downpipe, I'd go aftermarket. If you need a cat, I think a high-flow metal sustrate cat is the way to go.

well it's not my cup of tea either... i'm not planning on buying this. i just thought i'd show everyone (including myself) what the stock jdm downpipe looks like. i've already got a GREAT turbo back system and i don't plan on changing it anytime soon.

i really wanted to see what everyone would say about them only having 1 cat vs us with 2. also their uppipes are catless so they only have this one cat on a production car.

i'm not impressed. i mean ok cool one less cat but the air released by the waste gate still has to go around the metal plate thingy. probably flows like a hks DP

 

I thought maybe you were thinking about purchasing one.

Ohhhhhh...Well I think the only reason we have sooo many cats, is because of California. But like everything else, we get cheated when it comes to JDM vs. USDM.
