Installed the Perrin downpipe and cat-delete pipe today....

Hey guys. The downpipe and cat-delete pipe went on without a hitch. Only thing that kind of ticked me off was all the money spent on "quality" perrin goods and they don't even send new exhaust gaskets. Pretty cheesy to me. I had to call Perrin direct for a wiring diagram on how to install the O2 simulator. After getting directions, it wasn't too hard. Although I did have to remove the passenger seat and dash panel. Im a pro at removing the dash now as I already did it when I put the perrin short-shifter in. It does work. No check engine lites. Gobbs more power. I could smell the stock clutch just after some hard runs. Looks like that will be next on my to do list.
Oh, a big thanks to Andy at Boost Solutions. I probably drove him nuts with my zillion phone calls!

First impressions are great! Power range is much broader. Stock the Evo kind of dies after 5000rpms. The dp and cat-delete pipe really give it a much better power range. I hooking up my HKS EVC today. Im setting at 19psi. so it holds the boost all way to redline instead of droping off to 14.5psi.

Are you talking about the cat delete pipe with the o2 simulator?
If so I have it and it works great!
