So the downpipes with the probe would apeal to me, but let me get a few things cleared up first.

What are the probes good for? ex: Just wideband, egt, etc.?

Is this the best place to mount these sensors?

Would ANY/all of the popular brands sensors fit into these probes?

How easy/expensive is it to probe a DP that's doesn't have one? For instance BR's?

Other then that they all seem like good choices.

i got the RSR with cat delete stainless steel....was 300 (i think) from z1auto.com ( i bought a whole mess of ****) and its very easy to install. i did it on jack stands and a rachet. makes alot of power. power than you can feel. It does make you exhaust a little on the louder side but thats what you get with making more power

Only bad thing bout the flex is that it would make some turbulence but in turn its better for the engine as it suppresses all of its movements. Feedback appreciated.
dunno if i have anything against it....but ive heard some fitment issues with it bc of the flex. go with a respected brand that alot of people uses, so you know theres no issues and u know how the product performs also

Our downpipe/offroad pipe bolts up to the HKS system, no problem.

I dont understand why people buy 3" DP's and then buy test pipes for 300$ or more when they can just buy DC sports downpipes for 245$ that ship the cat and bolt right to the exhaust. And they fit all year evos 03-06.

BTW, www.MPFAB.com made a bunch of the flanges for the turbo so the DIY folks can do something similar

Not just because you posted that 240, but the design absolutely sucks.

First off, the divorced wastegate flows like crap the way it is configured, we tried it a few years ago and it is horrible, even when dumped to atmosphere it sucked. Also, trying to remove the downpipe from the car is a PITA when you have to service any other part of the car, like do a clutch, drop the oil pan etc.

The DC sports does not fit the MR! (I know I had one and it made contact in 3 places) And some would like the option of bolting the cat back on, for several reasons.

You tried what a few years ago? Did you try to make one yourself and it sucked? That I can understand. I own a Jspeed High Power downpipe and could not be any happier with it than with any part on my car. Do you want to wager something that my Jspeed pipe beats your pipe + ebay O2?
