Installed today with one of my Subie buddies. Install took about 5 hours and made a call to corksport during install and they were very helpful. Make sure you have an O2 sensor socket and lots of WD-40. The directions were very good... Just remember where the lower heat shield goes after you take it off. It had me stumped for like 45 min. The only bad that happened was when I was removing the stock downpipe bolts it was so hard that when I got one to loosen my hand smacked something hard and I broke my middle finger.(notcool)

best wishes on a speedy recovery! let us all know how you like the new DP!
best wishes on a speedy recovery! let us all know how you like the new DP!WD-40 is weak sauce...you need PB for that stuff. A buddy and mine used about two cans of it yesterday doing headers/midpipe on his IS300.
But I digress. How does it feel, and does it change the sound at all? I'm leaning towards the Corksport DP as my next purchase for this car.

the exhaust note got a little deeper... more of a growl sound now. But since it has been snowing and raining I havent been able to hit WOT while driving yet to feel the difference. I think my MS CBE is quieter than the CS or CPE systems, But it still sounds great not to loud. I think the DP is one of the best mods for the money!
But not much louder? Hmm.... I need a downpipe and I was on the fence because I thought this one might be louder than the others. I think MS CBE is tamer than my Vibrant. Are you going to get a mid pipe?
I lol'ed at the broken finger.... you were so matter of fact about it
Sorry to hear it, but Im glad you like DP.From the dynos I have seen, i think this paired with a testpipe is the biggest improvement you can do. Great mod. I wish I had one. Shoot my car just really got its first mod. ETS tmic and it made a damn good difference.

Mspeed3, have you noticed any power improvements with the CS DP; is it similar to the MS CAI...?
Did you retain the 2nd factory catalytic converter??
Have you had any CELs?
Have you noticed if your exhaust fumes have gotten smelly; unburnt fuel...?
