we have some in stock sitting on our floor ready to ship

in all reality though they are beautiful pipes complete with hardware kits, gaskets and directions. the ms6 ones are just as nice. good job CS.

high flow cat?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

these are catless. i have had one made with a high flow cat and found it was not much better for the money than stock.

Hey Ken, do you have any for the speed 6?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

Do you know if anybody has had a dyno with this? Almost 40 WHP gain seems a little high to me, but I have never dyno'd with an aftermarket downpipe. Or do you think that is realistic? Because I have a test pipe with cutout welded into it, so I wanted a shorty DP so I dont feel like I wasted my money with the test pipe and cutout. Thoughts?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

all the other manufacturers out there make similar claims with thier downpipes. i think 25 to 35 is realistic on a design like this for most people depending on mods.

Ken, how loud will this be with a corksport exhaust?

Is the intention to replace the DP + 1st cat and leave stock 2nd cat in place? Any gains to be seen by doing this? Or is the intention to run totally catless and replace 2nd cat with a RP. tks - Mike

this downpipe only replaces the first cat. the second cat would be eliminated by what is commonly called a test pipe or mid pipe, which we will have on the shelf in the next week or so, all things as planned that is

Ken, how loud will this be with a corksport exhaust?

the exhaust itself will make most of the difference. there is a sound clip on you tube i believe of how the corksport system sounds indoors on the dyno. that will be a fair approximation of what the car would sound like.

 

[shucky]

So no CEL when both cats are removed??

And if there is a CEL ... removal of which of the cats is causing this (1st or 2nd?)

Tks,
M.

 

[Captain KRM P5]

they provide parts to prevent a CEL from coming on

Do you know of any sound clips of someone just having the Dp installed, stock catback. I talked to Derrick at CS and he said it was a bit louder than stock, a big a bit lol. They had a car in I could have heard it on but I dont live in the same state so that didnt work out. I wanted to hear a clip of it by itself though, the stock exhaust is good enough for me for now but I think the dp would be a worth while upgrade, I just dont want it to be super loud....

 

[Captain KRM P5]

right now i don't. if you bought it from me and provided a sound clip i'd take a little off the price

Hmmm thats pretty tempting, but Im not sure about anything right now since my motor mounts just failed....(sick)

 

[Captain KRM P5]

yeah sorry to read that, best of luck getting that resolved!

Im looking to buy a new exhaust today and if not today by the end of the week and have some questions.
Is this downpipe a direct replacement for the stock dp? I mean, can I replace just the downpipe and not worry about anything else, or do I have to get the full corksport exhaust.
Also, you said that it comes with a way to stop the check engine code, what are they doing to stop it? Some sort of O2 sensor eliminator? Will it be something that I could do myself without worrying about having to solder stuff or get a professional to install?
Another question I have is when do you expect to have the test pipe in stock and how much will it cost.
I want to get a full exhaust replacement and right now it sounds like the only one that replaces everything is CPE, I hope that isn't the case.

ps. i could get you that sound clip for the same sort of deal

 

[Kosh]

price looks extra nice on the corksport dp. Over $100 off the CP-E DP even without a cat. The DP doesn't have a muffler or anything in it so why would it change the exhaust note?

Sound = Boo!
Performance = Yay!

I bet this dp paired with the test pipe would make one mean setup!! If you don't mind running catless The enviroment is ****** anyway give me more power!

I got my mount and my cai from protege garage and I would be happy to give ya'll more business! Looking forward to a test pipe so I don't have to get one from skeet unit.

 

[ovillems3]

does this downpipe hook up to the stock exhaust?
