Agreed, I did install them, it took me 2 days of many hours because I couldn't get the right side to line up right to get the vband on. But yeah, sounds great, got my Velos tune installed and love it! For the price, these were great!

I was going to weld the bolts on but used a locking washer instead. The drivers side is certainly a bitch to get to. Even with a lift it still took way too long.
Id recommend folks use at least 50mm bolts and measure the flange to make sure its not too wide. Tap the vband as you tighten it to get the best fit and lessen the risk of harming the band. A pipe wrench can help give leverage for lining up the pipe to the turbo. Have you found that the exhaust smells a lot? I can't tell if its the wrap off-gassing or if I have an actual leak. There are no leaking sounds. Last edited by pdxpeter; 11-21-2018 at 06:53 PM.. |

I bought Racing Dynamic headers about 2 years ago and found out the had horrible fitment and O2 sensor where not place in the correct position. making me some what use an harness extender to connect from the original engine harness to the O2 sensor and I still get the check engine light because of this, and now im looking to get rid of them and install something that fits correctly. |

I have the RM Racing downpipes from Poland, purchased through Ebay for under $600. Great fitment, no issues. Used new gaskets and wrapped up really nice. The drivers side front O2 bung was a tad off, but easily fit through the hole on the top shield. I just could not use the factory steel 'cup' on the drivers side, instead using left over wrap material. Other than that, no problems whatsoever. These are the same used in this video:
