any review for Fabspeed downpipes???

[Ca86108]

I am wanting to purchase the fabspeed downpipes as they are the cheapest ones I can find. Did anyone buy these? My main question is...HOW IS THE FITMENT?
Also, are there any good downpipes that are cheaper?

I ended up going with the Haze Performance downpipes from Amazon:

They are getting ceramic coated right now and I am installing them on Sunday!

It's a couple 2' pipes, pretty tough to mess up fitment. Also, Amazon is awesome with returns, so if they don't work you just send them back for a full refund

Youdd think but I've seen fitment issues on $2K dollar downpipes. A few mm's off on the O2 bung location and a couple of degrees off on a bend and they have fitment issues.

I went with a set of used OEM downpipes I got off of eBay and gutted them myself - for $350.00. 100% no fitment issues and their already double walled.

Which downpipes are you looking at? We have both full Catbypass Downpipes and Sport Cat Downpipes which utilize our HJS 200-cell cat cores. No CEL or tuning needed. Regardless, both are a great upgrade above stock and offer amazing power and sound.

Check your PMs!

I ended up getting some RK Autowerks downpipes...installing them as we speak

Has any testing been done to show aftermarket catted dp's make more power than stock? I went with catless for sound and midrange power increase because I couldnt justify paying 2000+ for catted dp's if I already had some that flowed fine up to 750hp+

They don't fit. The oxygen sensors will hit your firewall. They weren't designed properly and I had to send mine back for a refund.

Got the Fabspeed catted downpipes placed. They do fit, but the oxygen sensors are not in the exact spot the factory downpipes are. My installer had to move the cables a little (which took a little more time) but able to do it without leaks or other problems. No Cel light. No Smell. That was why I had to have catted- the smell, but the no cel/ engine light is a plus (have JB4 and can delete- but will take off when I get the car serviced/ warrantied). Overall very pleased.
