just installed dp and test pipe

Here are my impressions. The car is noticeably louder, has better throttle response and the car just pulls on the top end. You can really feel the difference when you step on it. Definately worth the mod if your not worried about being pulled over. Luckily the cops here dont check on stuff like this. I have the Invidia dp and test pipe installed for $350. Also made my own ss bumper shield for 2 bucks. Its flush with the bumper so its not that visible which is what I wanted to achieve.

BTW the dp sits really close to the oil tank so we had to wrap heat shield around it. I took this picture before we took it off again to wrap the dp.

The greddy tip is short about half inch or so. Since its titanium the only way to make it longer is to modify my test pipe a bit longer.

Nice! Looks really sweet, I'll bet it sounds really mean now. I have the Greddy Ti and have been considering the downpipe, test pipe. Did it get a whole lot louder and did you notice any low end torque loss?

I had top use spacers to make them fit. The spacers were about 4-5 cm. Most downpipes do not clear the cross bars.

the dp and test pipe is made of nice quailty and is pretty thick. To bad I dont have a pic of the stock dp. If you take a look at the stock dp and compare it with mine you will definately get a aftermarket dp

I think it got even better with low end toque because it revs easier and faster. Yes its louder for sure but not that bad since Im already used to the Greddy Ti. You really feel the difference when you hammer the car, it just keeps pulling.

Thanks! Did you notice if you get any more peak boost? That DIY heatshield looks much better than the lancershop shin slasher, btw.

I have not had time to install my boost guage yet if that is what you meant.
