My eBay test pipe came today include pipe, four bolt, two gasket and eight washer. Fit is very good, took me less then one hour to install it with a car jack. A little bit louder not much.

It's bigger on the inside. The o2 bung placement is very good.

imho, i do noth see anything being a problem besides initial fitment. if it fits over time i do not see it being any different than anyother test pipe.

Phi79, your DP stock or aftermarket? how'd the gaskets fit up?

Aftermarket down pipe, the gasket fit very good, so far I'm still very happy with it.

Got mine a while now but waiting for some 2.5" gaskets as the 3" ones won't match up to the stock DP

Ok so the 2.5 doesn't want to match up properly either... meh. Safe to say it won't bolt properly to a stock DP without some sort of custom exhaust gasket...

UPDATE: Finally installed and so I can say:

- If you have a stock DP, gat a pair of REMFLEX RF6005 graphite gaskets. these actually fit the gap between the 3" RTP and the 2.5" OEM piping nicely.

- the 02 bung is at 4 o'clock... meh. But gonna leave it like that and see if there's any long term problems... I know they say moisture issues and all but some people have had em on 2-3 yrs like that with no issue.

- It also pulls your rear exhaust forward a little more as well.
