After a long 3 months wait, I finally got my car a cat-less DP which is just released from UR. My mechanic wrapped it with his left over heat wrap, and hope to prevent the over-heating problem. He spent around 2.5 hrs to get it installed, the fitment is great for the 3" pipe! It makes big different in acceleration, the conti tires can't hold on to the torque. I feel like more power/torque that UR claims for. I'm so regret that I didnt dyno it before installation, but my friend ordered one and he will dyno it before & after. The stock exhaust is now a bit louder with some smelling that cop doesn't like, and "Check engine light" is still off (finger-crossed).

why do they use little 6mm bolts to attach the front pipe to the exhaust? the stock bolts are 8mm

Hey few quick questions.

Have you gotten a cel since install?

Did you get the 02 extender is it needed? Didn't seem like it would be needed but wasn't sure what exactly it is in this situation.

Definitely in for a dyno update once your friend gets his done.
Thanks!

I saw this already, thanks though. I was just looking forward to a second dyno, to see the difference or verify the gains already posted, before making a decision to purchase it.

How do you guys switch a downpipe for the cat & get by with emissions inspections? I have to have my ride inspected every year in NC and it must pass a smog test or no license registration renewal. I had to use a high-flow cat with an O2 defouler/extender the only time I every messed with the OEM cat.

The same rule apply in CA which is why we're always crying for CARB legal parts. Without it, we pretty much pass on particular part since we will not be able to pass smog check.

You have any updates on the dp after owning it for awhile? Did you ever get a cel or any other issues like rattling or leaks? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one tomorrow, just thought I'd see how it was doing first.

Thanks!

Interesting picture. I don't own a Type R but an EX Hatchback CVT. Notice the 'clear' line you see on that intermediate drive axle. I had the same thing on mine when my PRL motorsports front pipe was hitting my intermediate drive axle. The picture below is with my stock front pipe after having it re-installed. The 3" front pipe was much closer to it.

After one week with having this installed and some moderate driving (I have different cars to drive so I wasn't constantly driving it), the below picture was the result of the front pipe contacting my drive axle.
