I would say the sound is double as loud now with cp ex.

I have not notice faster engine braking but you can hear the turbos for outside the car.

I have been on the fence about getting the akra. There is one used for sale in Houston now but I can't bring myself to spend the coin. I think the akra and these DPs would be an ideal setup!
What do these hi flow catted OEM downpipes cost?

That's too much money. How much can you sell the stock downpipes and cats for? Or even better, could you just buy the high flow cats, and swap out the cats in the existing OEM down pipe?

Send an email out to Noelle.

Thinking maybe you can send out your stock DP's to them after installing their DP's, for a core exchange.. something like that.

I can't do that because I keep all my OEM parts for lease return.

That's what noelle did so it should not be a problem. This is assuming you will find a welder that is comfortable removing cats and sourcing the high flow set that will fit.

There is a metal to metal seal so once the welder cuts he has to make sure it's with in the same tolerance after put back together.

Yes it seems its not possible. I was quoted $4000 for the pipes plus $780 for the installation. $4780 is not worth it to me.

It also had the jb3 on. So can't really compare. Dinan one with my car in Cali and said it was 15 hp diff.

Now that real tunes are out you may consider the 200 cel with HJS cats and get the cel light turned off via tune.

Yes that's where they got their dyno numbers from. My car was the development car for the comp pkg. their numbers are conservative vs what I was told it made but I guess it better to lower them a bit to make sure all cars really hit what the say.

I plan on getting one in the next few months just to have a baseline in case I swap to a real tune vs Dinan piggyback.

This is great, just what I was looking for.

How much is it and where can I get them?

Anyone with CEL with this ?
