Oh dear........... I think you will have fun, Manifold if it fits will not last long...downpipe looks ok what cel is it 100-200dpi? CAI.. others have issues with these, just make sure the filters not over oiled.

HTH

If its too good to be true it usually is, the unfortunate thing is people still buy it thus keeping the monkeys in business, It may fit, it may not one thing is for sure though and thats that it will last 5 minutes.

Manifold is totally wrong as the exhaust and turbo will not fit onto the manifold.

Don't even think it will even bolt on unless you take the engine out and leave it out due to clearance on the bulkhead.

T3/4 fittment or something like that.

No cat then.......CEL light will be on and car will fail MOT emissions unless your lucky,,,how will you join the 2.5 inch pipe to the OE one?

yeah it looks that way..i was in 2 minds if i should buy it :(

ive been looking at the ebach springs how much did you lower yours?

37MM exactly!, I have them with Koni FSD's, still pretty comfortable but still very flat round corners! Do it!

Oh yes, that will fit alright......

I suppose you don't have to use all 4 bolt holes as your turbo only has 3. Oh and the external wastegate will come in handy if you standard integral wastegate gives up.

Give it up.

Please in :orb_futur ask before you buy.

Hold on a sec Des, your whole car is not meant to fit together!

my friend said he can get me a down sizer made for it(but i was hopeing it would bolt onto the original one(but i guess not now) it says it has holes for sensor so wont that stop eml coming on

How much did you pay? Just out of interest.

Hold on a sec Des, your whole car is not meant to fit together!

Got that right, it's all trying to escape at the mo.

LOL As it always does!, the differance is everything in yours is to a high standard and expensive and it still breaks! So imagine what cheap tat will do Harry.

it says it has holes for sensor so wont that stop eml coming on

The sensors read whats going through it...you will have no monolith catalyst to reduce the emissions between the sensors, hence no reduction in emissions will result in cel light coming on.

130

Oh brother, comon for 130 what do you expect? A mistake i think bro, send it back if you can if not put it on a shelf above your computer to remind you of these errors.

pence.

But aren't decats used by a lot of members on this forum?

I have never heard of the cel light coming on.

Oh the cheaper stainless manifolds tend to crack from what i have heard.

so the decats no good as well then...i dont mind driving round with the eml on if its not causing any problems or is the pipe no good at all

If you dont mind the light being on then fine, i would buy a code reader though to make sure nothing else is going on, check regularly... by the way you will find the lambda probes will probably burn out as well.

Should have gone for a 100-200dpi cat pipe,
