    Depending on where you are... you might want to consider also CES in brisbane. Im planning on driving down to get DP and cat fitted by them later on in the year.

    Apparently the twin design is much better...

    CES hands down.

    the problem with the CES is that you have to get a full length system, rather than getting away with just a downpipe, then you also need to extend the second o2 sensor wires to reach the bung

    you wont be able to weld a cat into the corksport downpipe, so scrap that idea, plus it is only a downpipe, while the cp-e one is a downpipe and midpipe together as one piece

    if you get the corksport downpipe, it will bolt up to the factory mid pipe and cat back, but if you change to a corksport mid pipe, then you have to decide whether you will change the cat back later on, and the brand

    because they have two mid pipe designs, one for their own brand of cat back (80mm), and one for stock fitment aftermarket cat backs (65mm). the cp-e will connect to pretty every other cat back on the american market

    unless you are planning on big power, then the brand will make **** all difference

    CP_E. Simple. Only a single pipe, rather than CS dual pipe. Dual Cats. And mates up direct to the CP_E catback exhaust. Optimizes the limited available space nicely.

    the mps 6 version of the cp-e downpipe has two cats?

    I've heard only good things about the CPE and CES downpipes.

    YES. Easy to refit the sensors, not in silly locations. I recommend use a proper cat socket though, to save messing up your leads and also removing the leads at the connector ends when taking them out. It saves twisting the leads. It's a bit of a fiddle and involves removing the battery and its tray and winkling out the connectors from their clips on their mounts under the turbo inlet pipe. Cheers.

    so you mean there are two o2 sensors

    i thought you meant there are two catalytic converters on the cp-e downpipe

    bump?

    looking at getting a down for my mps6.

    I have ordered a CPE Cold Air Intake, I have a magnaflow already installed, so my last step is dump pipe.

    Between the two I want to know the differences beyond just the price.

    Is the CPE the better product which will give the better result? And is it the easiest to have installed?

    Either of them are easy to install, the pain in the arse is getting the OEM one out lol.

    I believe the corksport one is now a two piece setup, and I am not sure whether it comes with a cat.

    The cpe is a one piece design and has an intergrated cat, though it is very small.

    Well, working for an exhaust shop that produces locally made DPs, I'd say the DP with a twin dump is the be all and end all. Choose a twin DP. A correctly designed twin DP will bring boost on earlier and hold it for longer.

    Ended up going with the CP-e option.

    Here's to hoping it was the right choice haha

    CP-e is good.

    I run it on mine and can vouch for it

    sweet, looking forward to how it tags on with the magnaflow cat back exhaust already on there.
