4CEF3D Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Honestly if you don't care about name brand I have the CNT catted downpipe its pretty much an invidia copy looks and fits good and you sounds good to.

stuck686 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 u might want the downpipe to stock cbe adapater from grimspeed. it eliminates leaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Do the UP before the DP. Stock UP is catted, if the thing disintegrates you're looking at a $$ turbo replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have a catless DP and the car isn't louder at idle. When the turbo spins up you can hear it with the windows down. On the freeway it's quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinLarry Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yep - I did catless DP & UP on my 05 with stock system from DP back.. Almost no change in sound.. Still sounds stock but can hear glorious turbo noises more now Flash CAP stage 2 and car runs great and pulls nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking about this, yes my wagon with a catles up/dn with stock exhaust was to quiet for me. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
