another downpipe thread.......
I know this subject has probably been beaten to death but I have a couple of quick questions for anyone using the DC Sports downpipe w/ cat-delete.
and yes I searched and couldnt find the info I was looking for, maybe Im a dumb-a$$, whatever
1. is the downpipe 3", 2.75", 2.5" or what??? no diameter size listed anywhere
2. does the diameter taper at all and where if so?
3. is there a bung for the O2 sensor or would I have to run a CEL fix?
3. any fitment issues?
Im looking at either the DC Sports dp or the RS-R dp w/ cat-delete. Id prefer to use any dp with the cat-delete so anybody with either of these dp's your input would be much appreciated. Sorry this was so long
thanks,
chris

I just want quality parts for decent prices and no bullsh*t
I do know that The Speed Factor (my cat-back) sells a 3" exhaust that includes a DP with integrated cat delete all as one piece that is fully 3" without a neckdown, but I don't think they've started offering it as a separate piece. I know that when I move to Colorado (no emissions in colorado springs), I will be completing my exhaust by using their piece to go with their matching cat-back that is already on my car.

If anybody has any suggestions or comments about and dp and test pipe set-up please feel free to use this thread to help me out.

Yes, my mods are pretty good, since they cost very little and helped me achieve 12.2s without being ricey, excessively loud, and while appearing almost 100% stock, but I know they aren't the best mods out there. Yes, you made a mistake buying a DP to go with a stock cat when a tuning device would have been much more beneficial, but at least now you know...
