Because animal lives matter? :shrug:

The actual catalyst in the converters is somewhat expensive to produce. They contain metals like platinum, palladium and rhodium.

You're paying for the catalytic converter?
As opposed to nothing.

Okay got it, even though uncatted pipes give you more power am I correct?

Yes. Some states require emission testing, and without the cat it won't pass.

Guys, seriously..our ebm is one of the easiest dp to swap. I never had a turbo car that was this darn easy. I can seriously do it in 30min. Probably even less if I had lift and power tools. Try the dp or even the manifold on a suby in your driveway lol. Ford made it so easy for us. Too easy.

I totally agree. when I was at the dealer looking under the hood I was just grinning looking at the turbo side. SO MUCH SPACE. I had a Mazdaspeed 3 and eventually I could swap the DP in about a hour and a half but the first time it took about 4 hours. I can imagine a sub with those up pipes and all that .

BTW the DP is now down to $250 IDK if anyone has already posted that. Im gonna offer them $220 and see if they accept it.

They accepted my offer for $220 so I guess the next guy go for $200 and see what happens. If no one has any complaints so far then its a great deal

Keep in mind that the downpipe sits really low. I scrape the dp at every speedbump and I'm lowered on eibach sport lines. Finally managed to dent it a couple days ago. The stock downpipe didn't sit as low as this one.

Damn. Noted. Thanks I plan on getting those springs. Just haven't yet because I'm too lazy to put springs on. On my past 3 cars I've spent 4-5x more for coilovers just because I hate spring compressors. I'll see if I can come up with a solution when I put mine on. Should be in Wednesday then I can finally tune. Just broke 1000 miles on my car.

Just got one

Just got one, waiting for it to get in and finish the pro tune, hope it helps!

Gaskety messed up

Mine just came in today but the gasket "fire ring" was bent out of shape and separated.. I emailed the vendor but I would like to get one instead of waiting any suggestions?
