Beautiful units!! With the catted unit, can one then eliminate the cat on a performance exhaust system And still pass inspections/emmisions?

He sells non catted versions, says so in the main post. And in any state that does emissions testing, you wont pass. That's the whole point of a cat, to reduce emissions to acceptable amounts.

There is only one catalytic converter on this car and it's in the downpipe. There is no other cat downstream of the downpipe.

First of all thank you for the support and you wont be disapointed. Elbows off turbo is done finally so production can begin. I will have an update next week. I am making the exact amount for people that pre ordered from the list and not waiting till the entire batch is done to ship them so its quicker! anybody who missed out on pre ordering will have to wait a little more. ill post next week the longest wait is over so should be quick

$200 discount still available if buying both downpipes? Do SBX Street Credits mentioned here still apply to orders placed?

I tried to order but could not locate the combo discount or lightning bolt to select and earn SBX Street Credits.

This will be my next upgrade no doubt. I'm getting one resonator cut off Wednesday so I figure that along with this and a front pipe should be perfect sounds wise.

Ordered and looking forward to installing. I decided to upgrade since IMHO, this is the best FL5 downpipe currently available since it uses:
  1. A 4" elbow that is port matched to the turbine outlet and offers what I believe is the largest outlet ID (~73.5mm) to the front pipe connection;
  2. A genuine GESI catalytic converter to pass emissions with no worries of a CEL; and
  3. 304 SS pipe with smooth internal transitions between the CAT and two welded flanges (i.e., no cast parts used so no worries of additional thermal weight added).
For reference:

OEM Turbocharger Turbine:
  • Outlet = ~102mm
OEM Catalytic Converter:
  • Inlet = ~94mm
  • Outlet = ~53mm
OEM Front Pipe:
  • Inlet = ~60mm
  • Outlet = ~56mm
OEM Exhaust:
  • Inlet = ~57mm
