Is this doable with the car on ramps? Does it give you enough room to work in?

I’d recommend using stands and a jack ... this is what I do with mine

Would probably be difficult with the middle so high when on ramps and when crawling underneath

I do the top first and then jack up and do from underneath, I do the same for install

I tried the link earlier for the DIY install steps... it seems broken.

Does anyone have any installation instructions or DIY step by step?

I purchased VRSF downpipes from the forum.. I reached out to VRSF but without an order number i may be on my own.

thanks!

I have read that at least a few people experienced fitment issues with the VRSF pipes. They can take a bit of wrestling to line up on top. Also, Akrapovic has a great DIY with photos on their website.

Hey guys getting a 0029F4, 0029F5 and 002F29 codes and CEL on the dash. Any ideas. Installed the VRSF DPs about 300kms ago and it was running fine.

First two are for catalytic inefficiency codes. Your post cat sensors are picking up that there is no cat.

You will need to tune those out or get simulators.

The third code is for 'Charge air cooling, energy operation'...not related to your downpipes...check your vacuum lines though and aux coolant pump

Copy, already message TTFS for a new tune. All vacuum hoses are brand new so I'll have a look around and see what the issue could be. Cars not running in reduced power mode, just cel on.
