I got a cobb DP, and they actually included spacers for the chassis braces. Fitment is great.

This is the downpipe you want to buy...trust me i've bought and sent back a few....Most important thing is the flange and how they all are a neck down and restriction at the O2 housing, not to mention smooth mandrel bends. Check out this link...Don't get the megan unless you're a fan of plumbing ells in your exhaust

You could just go to a reputable muffler shop and have them mandrel bend one for you. Thats what I did on my Evo V (Mufflerman FTW!).

Worked perfect, I stood there and told them where I wanted what and watched them do it...

My IX came with a full Buschur TBE though... I hadn't noticed any rubbing, but I think I'll crawl under there this weekend and see if it is?

That dp looks really nice. So it has no problems with clearance anywhere? Hows the fitment on each end? Quality looks top notch.

Looks like RRE gets their downpipes from Japan which makes it kind of sketchy. I assumed they made them in house.

I have this one. Rattles for me quite a bit. Probably just need to loosen it up and wiggle it around some.
