Anyone ever tried this down pipe?

Do the O2 sensor bungs need to be drilled or are there removable caps on there?

Wonder how the install went..hopefully there's pics??

The install went perfect. Took me less then an hour in a lift by myself doing the work. No issues at all. The 02 sensor bungs where already welded in and perfectly round. Sensor went in no problem. It came with bolt in caps if needed. I did apply a thin coat of high temp gasket maker on the V band clamps to make sure no leaks where created. But I doubt it would of leaked anyways. Everything looked pretty straight and fitment was good.

Only draw back so far... It's already doing the smoke at idle lol.. Looks like i will need to bump my idle up abit and get the pcv fix soon
And regarding pics, sorry, I got abit excited and rushed to get everything installed and didn't take any. But I can get some once I raise it up on a lift again to install the drop springs
And regarding sound, I have the magnaflow street series, so it's still pretty quiet at idle and opens up nicely under load to wot and atleast to my opinion, doesn't sound as bad as I thought . Actually sounds pretty good n deep. For a 4 cyl

Normal for an OR DP, lots of threads about it.

Whats the feedback on the seat of the pants? Does it pick up faster or does it feel like there's more noticeable torque?

He'll need a tune to get real gains from it.

Yup Im aware of it and of the threads on it. I will have to do some PCV mods in the near near future

So with the Maganaflow Street series cat back and now the catless downpipe... Impressions:
Power feels smooth and delivery is a lot faster to come on.
I can definitely hear the turbo spooling a lot more through the exhaust while driving, which sounds great!
Cold start Idle is surprisingly quiet. I was expecting a lot louder, but its a louder tone starting don't get me wrong, but its a deeper louder and not Honda fart can loud, hope you guys under stand that.
once warm, the sound at idle is almost as quiet as with the cat, but abit more distinguishable now. So Im happy about that.
Under WOT.. It opens up! BUT still not obnoxious which is perfect.
Obviously not a V8 sound, but still a pretty good sound imho

Regarding the "seat of the pants" feel..
My car already pushes 325 hp & 415 tq to the tires on the current tune, But to be quiet honest, the car definitely feels to pick up faster and making the car feel less dragged down. Its noticeable for sure

I will try to get some pictures loaded of the pipe installed today so you guys can see atleast some of the quality of it.
But like I mentioned, the roll of dime welds on everything looked pretty legit to say the least. everything bolted up perfectly and no issues on install

That's good to hear. I've been a bit weary of the noise level.
