which test pipe?

[08cosmic3]

the CS test pipe fits just fine with the stock DP and CBE. That's how I had it for a few weeks before I bought the DP

This was not my experience. The pipes must be hit or miss.

The stock pipe DOES have hangars. The CS unit re-uses the stock rubber mounts.

Keeping the second cat is defeating the purpose. Your DP will be 3 inches and apparantly catless. You will then be necking it down to a pretty restrictive second cat in a smaller diameter pipe, and I'm not at all sure that it will keep your CEL's in check or pass emission testing.

You'd do better to either go catless with 3 inch piping all the way back to the cat back, or go with a catted DP, if you need emission control.

I don't know the basis of the earlier post suggesting that there are fitment issues with the TurboXS DP/RP. None of us on this thread with that set up have had any problems with fit. I'm not saying one manufacturer is better than another. I'm just saying don't make your choice on the assumption that there's a fitment issue with the TurboXS -- there is not.
