Hey Tiago, I wanted to ask you how bolt clearance was on the dump? Is it possible to get all bolts on and off/ Enough clearance to get a socket/open end around all three bolts and 2 nuts?
Just asking because after we installed my buddys EPM dump, we found we didnt even have enough clearance to get either around the bolts taking his invidia internal dump off. We ended up having to drop the turbo.

Well, ended up finishing the clutch job and installing the dump. I must say I love it and the sound is addicting (Ive always loved O2 dumps/external WG's). Nice piece overall.
Downsides. Not sure if I got a faulty unit or what, but the tapped holes on the DP side flange were either not the right thread or were mistapped. The factory spring loaded bolts didnt want to thread into it very easily and bottomed out about 1/3 through the flange. It ended up taking some cutting of the bolt threads to get enough tension on the springs to compress the DP to the O2. Also the dump tube happens to end right where my wideband O2 is inserted (I have a Megan DP). So Im going to have to relocate it elsewhere on the DP unless I want to cook O2 sensors every so often (probably not Muse's fault, rather Megan for not taking an external dump into account).
Overall, a nice piece and still a good value.

Thanks for the review. Just to note, most widebands are generally placed farther along the exhaust stream about 6 inches from the furthest downpipe flange which would explain your fitment issue 
This is the first I've heard of the thread issue, I'll forward this info to our supplier.

I appreciate that Tiago. The bolts are pretty much done as the heads are rounded (having to use so much force to get them in). Its pretty safe to say that if I ever have to remove this again, Im just going to redrill the holes larger and non-threaded to just use bolt/nuts.
Overall, still a very pleasant experience. Especially with Tiago directly (very good customer service).
