I took a chance on this product.Only to be surprised at the excellent quality and fitment.The downpipe alone fit even without adding the midpipe.One word of advice though.Dont use the turbo manifold to downpipe gasket that it comes with.It will catch on fire and make the whole engine bay smoke.After I removed the downpipe and removed the gasket which at first I thought was asbestos.Its not.Its cardboard or something similar.The thing didnt smoke anymore.Once again this is by far the cheapest and best mod ive ever done to the car.All for the price of 99 dollars.Plus I even have a midpipe.
I hope this helps all those would be buyers of downpipes that dont want to shell out 300 bucks for a friggin pipe.Its all stainless steel as well.
Heres where I got mine.I think shipping is 25 bucks or something like that. www.city-speed.com

 

if anyone has any questions let me know.

 

The "Tsudo" setup did not work at all for me. Here's a pic of their downpipe trying to line up with my stock cat. Not even close!



After calling them, they told me that you must run their midpipe to make everything fit. They didn't mention that in their auction and I had no desire to run a midpipe, so I sold the combo.

For the price though, it is a smokin' deal!

Gothamracing.com has good stainless steel downpipes and midpipes that fit well..

 

wow.thats weird.Mine lined up pretty well.No fitment issues whatsoever.Maybe those were the first batch or something.I swear to god mine fit with no problems whatsoever.Also.**** paying 200 to 300 hundred bucks for a 2 foot pipe.Try city -speed.Im sure most of us will have a good fit.I did and so did other fd owners.Thats why I purchased the tsudo.
Ohh and sonny.My downpipe was touching the precat braket as well.I also had to use a prybar to pull the main cat flange to the downpipe flange.Of course I did have acces to a lift.I would not recommend trying this without a lift.But It did fit.I dont think any exhaust component goes on without a little trial and error.Trust me I know.

 

Did you use all 4 stock studs and nuts or did you have to buy some bolts?
I just received my Tsudo dp I bought from ebay and I'm going to install it soon. After reading this I guess I'll have to buy some gaskets as well.
