1. 02 housing, downpipe, cat, exhaust
2. 02 housing, downpipe with built in cat delete, exhaust
3. Downpipe with built in o2 housing, cat, exhaust

This seem about right to anyone?

Is there a pipe that runs from the turbo all the way to the exhaust?

^not that I know of, unless someone custom made something. I think it is better to have a modular system anyway, except for the fact that some manufacturer's use slip-fit pieces on one of the ends while others go straight to a flanged/bolt design on both ends.

Check out MAP. They'll integrate a test pipe or HFC onto their O2 eliminating downpipe. I've bought stuff from them before and they have great prices and great customer service.

No worries, especially since there was a bit of confusion on the location. We went to Big E's again cause the Rock was packed apparently. I should have stuck with a burger and not chicken.

+1 for MAP! They will usually price match competitors really well too.

i have 1.

number two can go either what you have above or 02 housing, downpipe, test pipe and exhaust.

for number 3 i think you meant this one:

i went with 1. because its trouble up here when you dont have a catylictic coverter.

Sounds like an excuse to get a CF lip! The lip is held onto the front bumper cover with screws. You have to take the undertray off to get access to them. If there's a noticeable gap, you probably broke one of the supports that the screws go into. There's no real adjustment in the way it's attached. It's not difficult to remove the lip to fix it, just very time consuming because of all the stupid plastic fasteners that hold the undertray on.

Unfortunately no. The supports are molded into the lip. Superglue or epoxy would be the fix.

Oh, I still have my stock lip sitting in the garage so I'll take a picture later so you can see what you'll be dealing with.

You might be able to find something on Craigslist like that.

If the damage was done by going in the driveway it sounds to me like a good excuse not to get a CF lip!
