I have the V2 version and have been happy with them. I think the area at the end necked down different on the V1. The V2 is more tapered. Not sure about overall fittment differences. Mike could probably tell you. Performance wise likely no difference.

Mikes DPs are proven, and he's a great guy to deal with. I'd see no reason not to go with them based on the reviews I've read.

You got one of the older versions of these DP.
As mentioned on the link these DP were manufactured without the smooth transition on the exhaust flange you see in the product, but had a stepped taper.

Other than that you should be good, it should fit and work as described

Thank you everyone, I am looking forward to getting them on the car. I felt like they are a good price for new donwpipes that should provide the same gains as other aftermarket downpipes. Same gains?

Yes. I think if you dyno'd all the current popular DPs on the same car the hp/tq difference would be negligible. Key thing with downpipes is fitment and quality.

Yes the V2 have a more smooth taper to the exhaust flange. The V1 we only have a few sets left we are trying to clear out so once those are gone they are gone. The V2 with the most OEM style turbo flange out of any manufacturer and the smooth exhaust transition really make a great downpipe

I think our new design flows better and makes a DIY easier due to the OEM spec turbo flange but in terms of performance in reality it would be hard to distinguish.

I hope you guys don't mind me changing the topic...
Since I got mike and mike here... What do you guys think about used fmic? Or just buy new? What's the price range on these bad boys? I feel like I stole the downpipes now let's do the same with the fmic.
