Say your local law has a .08 BAC legal limit for driving under the influence. If you are driving on a public road knowingly with a .10 BAC, are you breaking the law? If you are driving on a public road unknowingly with a .10 BAC, are you breaking the law? In both cases: yes. Despite the fact that you weren't caught by a police officer, the law was still broken. Now, if you were told by the bartender at your bar that the local limit is .15 BAC, should the record not be set straight? You're being given wrong information about what is technically legal. So, let's stick to the point here: despite the fact that your local law enforcement isn't effective in their enforcement does not mean the law isn't being broken. However, if you know what the law is, and still decide to break it, that is 100% on you. But that concept is not what I am here trying to clarify or call out. I have an issue with the bartender telling people wrong info. No tinfoil hats being worn: a downpipe that removes the secondary cat is federally illegal for use in all 50 states regardless if the remaining cat is EPA legal. In most states it is also locally illegal. The emissions devices on the vehicle have been illegally altered. Not looking to pick a fight here, and sorry if this info is hard for you to digest, but it isn't false. |

I installed my AA downpipe this evening, the downpipe clamp was a pain in the butt to get off but once it was off, everything went smoothly. Took me 15 minutes to put the new downpipe on.
I'm noticing a nice louder exhaust note, quicker turbo spool and for whatever reason I can hear the blow off valve now. no cel, as advertised. |

Im not sure as we do not offer the catless option, but I recommend checking with AA directly as they made a few changes during the years with the bracket.

If anyone is worried about passing inspection with the downpipe, NYS passed my car with no issue. Inspector even took it upon himself hit sport mode a bit.
Just know your state's process prior to purchase. And purchase through XPH - they're amazing.

Mine came yesterday. Now to decide to DIY or pay a shop. I got one quote and it's too damn high so I'm leaning toward DIY but have limited time and will probably spend $200 in equipment as my jack sucks.

I have the MST Catted 6" high-flow cat DP and I can tell you I absolutely love it. Great sound and in over 1000 miles it has never thrown a CEL. I don't know that it's any cheaper than the AA DP but it is a great option if Mike can get them now.

Installed my AA Downpipe today and it sounds so good with the AA exhaust. I'll post more when I can get some pulls but here is a start up clip and rev with valves open. Thanks again mike@x-ph.com !
