    Default Downpipe!

    My downpipe will be installed tomorrow- they tried to install it today but broke the o2 sensor tool while removing the stock downpipe...I am soooo looking forward to this mod after getting the Corksport catback last week...god I love the sound of the catback...

    I hear that's a common thing to happen on install. Too bad.

    Make sure you post up some video with the new sound!

    Note- they did not damage my o2 sensor (very common stripping the thread), but broke the tool they use to remove the o2 sensor.

    They put my car back together so I could get home, tomorrow it all starts again...

    Ah bugger, yeah those O2 sensors are a PITA! Thankfully mine played ball. You find the exhaust note will change once the dump is fitted, will become more angry sounding

    Hey guys don't want to spoil the party, but if the O2 sensor turns a little bit then stops & you really start swing on it. So much that the tool brakes, more then likely your O2 sensor will be stripped.
    hopefully it was just his tool tho

    They put the car together yesterday and i drove it home- no issues.

    What I do know is that I will be coming to you next time- this has been a headache.

    It is 2 minutes walk from my work which is why it was good...

    Has anyone approached their dealer to do a DP install before? I'm thinking I might do that when I do go down the DP path.

    What pipe! its a down pipe for crying out loud. Yes its a biatch for a job but really, its 5 bolts on the turbo, 2 bolts on the cat put the car back together & go.go.go.
    Really not a biggie for a workshop
    Must be waiting for the crack pipe
