For those who have the Corksport Downpipe and Mid-pipe...

[aaronc7]

How in the world do you connect the Downpipe to the Mid pipe??? The bolts don't appear to be long enough. The stock mid pipe (cat) the flange is a lot "thinner" so this would probably work but doesn't seem to be long enough when you have their downpipe/mid pipe together. Am I missing something or do I just need to go out and buy bolts that are a little longer?

You'd think Corksport would provide hardware to make their two components fit together when you buy them together....

Use the old bolts.

 

[aaronc7]

is that what you did? or just an idea...i think i tried all possible combinations of bolts and stuff

 

[oskinosmee]

we used them for my car.

 

[aaronc7]

kk, ill go look again...i just started it up with open down pipe holy crap, lol. I think my neighbors hate me already

 

[aaronc7]

the longer stock bolts will work for the mid pipe to stock catback, but still too short for downpipe to mid pipe. ghey ghey ghey

Go buy some from home depot. Use the M10 1.25 thread I think 70mm and get the matching flange bolt and regular hex bolt. My DP came with longer bolts. It also looks like you have hella gap there.

Yeah I'm gonna stop by tomorrow. I'm pretty sure they are pretty close/snug.. well maybe not in the pics I think the mid pipe fell down half way thru taking pics. But even when I had them snug as possible it was just a hair short.

pic for fun!

Does the CS DP cause a CEL? Or is it the midpipe that does?

had the same exact problem, only i have the corksport downpipe/PG test pipe combo. i went to my local mechanic and he had piles of bolts and springs sitting around, so i just found the appropriate size and installed them there.

 

[aaronc7]

cool^^!

I think the bolts they provide is designed for the stock mid pipe.

Jesse: The downpipe has all the O2 sensors....so far no CEL!
