I agree. I read peoples posts saying they had to ghetto rig theres as well and it's just not worth it. Paying $130 for a pipe that doesn't fit, doesn't seem worth it to me. If I woulda known this I wouldn't have gotten it. I had to spend another $50 for the examination and bending of the pipe.
Besides that, I'm happy. Car sounds much deeper, and pulls a tiny bit harder through midrange RPMs.

That is the other thing...the more I read, it appears that the test pipe doesn't really do too much for performance. Thanks for the candid feedback.

I think your install might be wrong though one of the washers goes on the other side of the bolt.. But besides that yeat its awesome
Nah, there is a washer on the other side. You're seeing a flat washer and a lock washer that I added....

I looked at the SU exhaust and compared to the Corksport. . . SU sucked. I have the turbo back Corksport and it fit like a dream.

k... I just know on mine it had the flat washer on one side and the lock on the other. The place I got it installed put both on one side so I had to fix it

Should you disconnect your battery after installing a test pipe? If so, how long does it take to rest your ECU?

Na 4 seconds is believable. There is a youtube vid of a 4.9 sec 0-60. With sticky tires, good road, and a hell of a launch I think its possible. The car hits 60 faster than the advertised specs. I think most places clock the speed 6 at 6 second 0-60. With just an intake I was consistantly doing 5.5ish 0-60's with 4K launches. Haven't launched the car since though.
Car and Driver hit 60 in 5.4 seconds, and ran the 1/4 in 14.0 @ 99mph.

OP- Glad you got your pipe fitment straightened out.

Thanks. I didn't disconnect it after I installed it, so I just wanted to make sure that a battery reset wasn't necessary.

I think (but don't quote me 100%) that anything other than the CS DP mounts in the exact same spot as the OEM one, which means it would need the bump to match up right.

Damn you and your trickery!
LOL...... but wait I'm still confused.
If the Corksport DP doesn't mount in the same position as OEM, why does their race pipe have the angled bend? I would assume to better fit stock DPs for people who don't want to change that.... but will it still align ok with the Corksport DP, or will the race pipe have a portion stickig below the car (which is BAD for me because I already scrape my cat on steep speed bumps).
