+1 mine come the 11th

No problems at all 1month strong also changing from a 80 degree florida climate to a 45 degree chicago climate. The power is their just got done finishing off a Rs4 on the highway lol. The fitment is spot on perfect no problems. The only problem we ran into was that after the downpipes are on their is about a 1inch gap between the downpipes and the rest of the exhaust all you have to do is loosen the bracket holding up the 2ndary cats pull the exhaust about an inch closer to the downpipes and bolt em in. If you need any more info pm me or Jblackwell.

Were you able to successfully reuse the gaskets without leaks? Or should I buy gaskets?

I've heard its like $80 in gaskets from the dealer.

usually exhaust gaskets you can re-use as long as they aren't in bad shape and "flaking" off. But, I always recommended new ones just for piece of mind.

Its not really spot on perfect fitment if you have to move your exhaust a full inch LOL

Does this affect how much your tips stick out of the back bumper? Does it recess them further in?

Any gasket should always be replaced once removed as it will never seat correctly. (Just IMO)

[ridin135]

every downpipe install I have done you have had to move the exhaust forward

[Lobaeux]

Good question, I would also like to know if the tips seat much further in.

[Tiago@VRSF]

I tried to install them on a buddies car a few weeks ago and we ended up returning them due to fitment. After seeing the inside of one of the downpipes where it meets the turbo I realized why they were only a few hundred bucks lol.

We had to move the exhaust in order for the flange to line up and it also required rotating the downpipe in a position where they would have rattles against each other over time. Not a very good design compared to the other selection on the market.

[cn555ic]

Lateral movement of the exhaust forward is not really a big problem but having to turn the dps in a way to make them fit and causing them to touch each other is a big problem

[jreich]

just got mine today. They look pretty good for @ your door for less than 200.

[stealth-twntrbo]

I have had mine on for about a month as well, they sound good and they defiantly improved power, installation is a 2 person job I would say. It is much easier that way. As i said before fitment was about 98%. Had to get everything to line up with my AMS catback but I'm pretty happy with them for $200.

[Terrance28]

I will start my install on mines tomorrow.

[john boxter]

can i just buy the ar gaskets or wil those not fit?

Yeah I got the group buy together, but had a change of heart at the last minute. I was thinking about selling my car and getting something else, Then I changed my mind again and ended up keeping the car. Then I was just gonna keep it how it is but then I said I might as well run these, they are cheap and I don't have to worry about rust where i'm at. If they fit and don't leak I don't see anything wrong with them. Even if they aren't as pretty as any other dp on the market, they still get rid of the biggest restriction which are the cats.
