Pros:

great quality, great fitment, great price
|
|
Cons:
|
didn't come with turbo to dp gasket
|
|
Fit great, and made a very noticeable difference driving around. Also installed it with a custom exhaust with magnaflow mufflers. Only complaint is it didn't come with turbo to dp gasket but nothing to do with the quality of the dp. Great DP for a great price

Pros:
|
Quicker to boost
|
|
Cons:
|
Too much turbo chirping and whistling
|
|
I installed this downpipe last week and know it is getting the car to boost more quickly, yet I'm not completely sold on the (what I think is excessive) amount of chirping/whistling I hear from the turbo now. Even under light throttle, all I hear is "chirp chirp chirp..." My friends all think it sounds awesome, but they're not the ones daily driving it haha. Overall, happy with the gains I got, yet I need to get used to how my car sounds like a pack of chirping birds at dawn and how I lost all chance of the car being a quiet sleeper that won't draw attention from ricers and cops.

Pros:

good price, great fit, very noticable power increase
|
|
Cons:
|
none so far
|

Installed the catless last night on my 07 spec-b. Ordered it from infamous along with a grimmspeed 3" to stock exhaust adapter. Everything lined up great. I did grind down the piece seperating the two tubes like is noted on infamous and in the forums before hand. Havnt noticed any odd noise and running stage 2 with my ap my boost is right where its supposed to be. Really like the sound and huge power gain over stock. I would highly recommend the part to anyone.

Pros:

Awesome kit, Great looking pipe
|
|
Cons:
|
No turbo to DP gasket
|
|
I bought this from Importimageracing.com for $280 and it was shipped within minutes of the purchase. Great vendor!
Back to the pipe, the quality is great, nice looking welds everywhere. Other than the initial pipe, the kit comes with stickers, nuts for the turbo studs, and bolts and nuts for the catback section, along with a 3" gasket. It was easy to install and lined up perfect with my aftermarket catback (not invidia). I would highly reccemend this pipe to anyone looking for a great catless pipe for a great price.

Great Fitment, easy install and no "smell"
|
|
Cons:

Haven't seen yet.

Not much to say...Good product, wasn't too expensive as far as dp's go. The install was easy and straight forward with not fitment issues. I was actually surprised by the increase in db. It wasn't as much as I was expecting (which is a good thing). I didn't want a loud exhaust. I don't know what lucasmit is talking about in his "review". He just sounds disgruntled as all of his reviews have been negative, so don't let his post influence your decision. It's a good piece.

Pros:

Great look, good fitment, increased sound and HP
|
|
Cons:
|
Divider too big causing turbo to not be perfectly lined up
|
|
I bought this for $295 shipped and so far the only thing wrong with it has been the divider between the exhaust side and wastegate. It's a great idea but invidia didn't account for wastegate slap or for the welding lip being too big on one side causing the turbo to be uneven. I filed down this lip and tried to file down the divider to get away from the slap but it sounds like it's still there. Have to wait for a stage 2 tune to see. Otherwise it's a great product, fit very well and came with bolts and nuts needed with the gasket between the DP and CB but no turbo gasket
