Downpipe install DIY with pics!

Even the DP doesn't add much if at all.

Not to argue I'm just confused, what about the findings that the Smoking Tire had before/after installing the Cobb DP and exhaust?

Sure, I'll re upload when I get home

Please put them back up, I just received my 2J down pipe today and want to install it this weekend.

I was going to do it that day but Photobucket is being really dumb without paying for the membership in order to host the pics. I'm searching for the photos in my computer and reupload it when I can

Pics are back up!

Bumping this, I’m working in the DP now - is there any use for antiseize in this prodess, either in the DP bolts or the O2 sensors, or is that a no go?

Would like to do what I can now to make future removal as easy as possible if I go for a bigger turbo

I used anti-seize in the turbo to downpipe studs. I have yet to take it apart so I don’t know how much it helps, but I don’t see how it would hurt

Same here. One bolt broke the very first time I took it all apart which seems to be par for the course. I've had mine apart about 3-4 times since then without an issue. I always use new bolts when putting it back together.

If pulling the turbo and manifold will the downpipe come out through the top once the turbo and mani are out of the way?

If it fits, seems like it would be easier than disturbing (in my case) the Thermal RD midpipe as it's oriented perfectly right now in its brace/mount. It seems to be a really tight fit pulling out the bottom as well

This is what I intended to do to remove my s280 setup from my Orange car from the top with the downpipe intact. That’s if I don’t sell the whole setup complete in the car.
