Down below is my new exhaust! Tell me what you guys think? Great sound and instant big gain in torque!

$$$

Corksport Downpipe with extra bung for wideband - $420.00 Shipped

Apexi N1 Turbo Muffler in Black Polish - $210.00 Shipped
I got the DP and the Muffler from Corksport...

Custom Pipes at a local shop installed cost me - $250.00 Cash, installed the DP, and the muffler all welded and bended!

I'll do some sound clips but it might be at the end of the week. I'm going out of town and will be back on Fri. All I can say is it sounds like a nasty STi on the throttle but regular driving you barely notice! It has no drone no nothing! Holy crap what a difference in torque too! Not to bash but I saved so much money going the custom route rather then some of the cat-backs offered...no cats, no resonators just straight pipe! I love it!

so about $880.00 for the hole deal...no CEL's? do you have the wideband in now or do you have a plug in that bung...does the DP have another bung for the O2? I cant wait to here it!! i love the way STI's sound

Yeah around $900.00 all said and done...I gave the guy a $50 tip for doing an awsome job! I'm not gonna lie the DP is a b**** to get out! But no I have a bolt in the hole for the Wideband for now...no CEL...I had one when I first drove around but I reset the battery and it's been 2 weeks since I've had one. The DP comes with 2 O2 holes and I had to pay $20 for the extra bung. The shop did mandrel bending...awsome job I have no complaints!

That doesn't really sound how I imagined it would, sounds pretty tight.


LOL, that's what i was thinking. I was preparing for the worse with that big can attached to it but on the highway it sounded respectable.
 
no offense, but I'm not a fan. If you like it though thats all that matters. For whats its worth my man, I dont see much bent pipe to begin with. Lots of bits and pieces welded together and from the pics you can see varying sizes of pipes as well. The ripples on one of the only "bent" pipes I found are usually from crush bending not mandrel. From there is looks like it changes sizes again. Again, not bashing, just I hope you know what you paid for.

I agree, just my opinion, but it looks like a hack job pieced together with little thought of smoooooth bends. best of luck!
 
Well thanks for the comments guys! Yeah I'm so happy with it! Oh and to the two guys above me...I appreciate the comments and you are right there is one crush bend...but the rest is pieced together because it was hard for him to fit the muffler in that small spot...also his welds are sick! it may not look like much but you should see the line down the street to get their cars done by this guy! He's 65 and he's done exhaust his whole life! On top of that I know what I paid for...a downpipe install, pipes, bending, welding, and 6 hours of labor! for $250 and to top it all off! that wasn't a set price...he asked me what I think he should charge me and I said how's 250 and he said sure.
