Anyone running the raceroots DP?

[LOL WUT]

Just wondering if anyone has picked up the raceroots full length DP? The price of it is damn cheap compaired to some of the others. And yes "you get what you pay for" besides the fact that it doesn't have a cast bellmouth, it's just a peice of pipe like the other DP's. However, I am just looking to see if anyone has it, what they think of the quality, performance, ect..

I am also interested. If I were to pick a DP (catted) right now it would be between AQ and Race Roots.

Not too sure about RR, I seen a thread the other day where all he had was intake/ RR dp and he blew. May not be connected in any way but that alone would scare me. TXS or Cobb is the way to go iMHO... TXS for non catted and vice versa

TXS is a two peice downpipe. I'd be looking Cobb and CP-e for one peice and TXS and Corksport for two peice

The advantage of the two piece (separate dp and rp) is that it is easier to intall, not any more likely to leak, given the way that the TurboXS is made, and that there are flex joints in both pieces that make both installation easy and also greatly reduce any noise, vibration and harshness intruding into the cabin from the exhaust system. You can also do things to the rp section without the pain of removing or damagingthe dp, such as adding a reso (which I did) or installing a high flow cat, should you desire to do so, if you are running catless.

Not in any way criticising those who like the one piece setup, just pointing out that there are advantages to the two piece design that might not be obvious to those who have not installed and run the dp/rp in this manner.
