Downpipe 304SS $179.99 - High Flow Cat $279.99

[5280FiST]

Tried the install today. Everything was going smoothly until I got to taking of the heat shields. I could not, for the LIFE of me get the exhaust manifold heat shield off. I did get the downpipe on off. The upstream O2 sensor was a piece of cake with PB, a tire ratcheting torque wrench and about 2 feet of extensions (lol) came right off. THEN i was trying to get the 3 bolts connecting the DP to the turbo and rounded the bolt head of the top bolt i put the whole thing back together and have to retry after I get some bolt extractors. To confirm, the 3 supplied bolts with the Depo DP are for the turbo end or the cat back end (please say turbo end lol)

Damn man sorry you had such shitty luck... the bolts supplied are for the catback end...

Did you use 10mm ratching wrenches on the turbo side? It would have prevented and rounding happening :-/

Did you remove all the bolts fr the heat shield? There's is one under the left side top area that you have to remove a hard line to get access to.

Download the instructions from Cobb for their downpipe. It tells you exactly how many bolts there are to remove and where they are.

Once the shield is off just bend the shit out of it till you can get it out. You won't need it again anyway

Yeah i figured the 6 point 10mm deep socket would suffice but clearly not hahaha yeah I had the heat shield free from the mounting points, was just afraid to bend it, i knew i wouldn't need the DP one but thought i would need to reuse the exhaust one.

and that sucks about the bolts too, ill have to find a new one to replace the one i have to extract.... and figure out the thread size too

If you can get the bolt out cleanly it should be no problem getting a new one. Just take it to your local big box home improvement store they should have a nut Gide setup that you can thread the bolt into to figure out the size and threads.

Don't beat yourself up over the bolts the fact you used a 6 point socket makes me wonder if you have one of them that's stripped from the factory. This apparently is not uncommon the Fiesta. I truly hope you don't I couldn't image what a pain in the ass that would be.

Just ordered the DP off ebay. Looks like gd quality.

Just ordered! Does this still come with dp to turbo bolts and gaskets for both ends? I see it in the original post , but no mention on the depot site.

Want to make sure I have everything I need before install day comes.

You reuse the original fire ring, studs that are on the turbo, and the original nuts.

The DP to catback end will come with a new gasket along with nuts and bolts.

You'll love it. Fit was perfect and no issues so far after 9k miles on mine.

This comes with 2 bolts for the mid pipe side

 

[BlueBullet]

Still loving mine, will say I had one of my bolts that goes from the downpipe to the stock exhaust fall off this week creating an exhaust leak. Was an easy fix and I used some locktite this time so it won't happen again. Might not be a bad idea. At least make sure they are extra tight.

When are the catless DP's going to be in back in stock?

When I place my order it will ideally be in one go - catless DP, FMIC, charge pipe kit.

Depo racing down pipe

Has any one ever used this down pipe the 100cell cat version

 

[DR. KRI?GER]

if you mean Depo then yes I'm running one right now. The build quality far surpasses its humble price. I'd recommend it

Gotcha without a tune you should get a couple Catalyst Efficiency CEL's. Get a tune. Regardless of your issues, that is the best bang for buck modification you can do to these cars period. In addition, the AP3 will get rid of the Catalyst CEL's.
