full race downpipe..

[l BETES l]

Does anyone know if it'll fit up with an invidia n1 exhaust system?

 

[njhustler]

It should. I have the catted version connected to the stock exhaust.

 

[njhustler]

Your exhaust will get louder as well.

 

[l BETES l]

I figured as much. Im probably gonna go with the catless just for it to get more loud than it already is. Thanks for the help

it will 100% hook up and you will love the sound. Dont be alarmed by some what of a "hissing" noise. Its normal with catless downpipes. Some say its the unburnt fuel flowing through the exhaust

 

[l BETES l]

I'm sure I will. I was just curious since they're 2 different size pipes. Can't wait to get it now

oh oh oh i see what youre saying. what size is your exhaust? but no matter what you will have no problem. I have connected it to the stock exhaust and now it is linked to my tsudo which is 2.75". Its like the gasket they provide is meant to link up to something smaller. But just make sure to throw some blue loctite on the bolts or youll have to keep getting under and tightening those bad boys up

the N1 is 2.75 inch (70mm)

Gotcha. I know that it'll bolt fine though...Actually just picked it up!

I have the same downpipe with the tsudo catback. You'll love it. I know I do. Definitely loud but it's deep. The hissing from being catless is just my turbo spooling I like to think

make sure you have all the right tools before you start the install.. my biggest concern for you would be if you have a 02 socket for the o2 sensor on top of the exhaust. I have a garage full of tools but still couldnt get it off without making my own homeade o2 socket. Youll never get it off without

 

[Dennis Rockholt]

Actually, I believe I do have a spark plug socket in my mechanics tool set...your saying it was still impossible though?

no no no youll be fine if you have one. make sure it fits. i would start by taking off the windshield cowling and what not and just make sure you can get the o2 sensor out so worst case if you needa go get a tool the car will still be drivable. i was actually lazy after i did my downpipe and didnt reinstall my wipers or cowling for a couple days... until i got caught in the rain that is...

did you have a typo? cuz it has to be an o2 sensor socket not spark plug

EDIT: i had the typo to begin with. fixed now

that is a good write up. wish i had known about that my first time.. (iv installed a full race, put it back to stock, then installed a full race again) but you should be able to. call around before you waste time though. what i did was use the right size socket and took a grinder and cut a slit down the side with a crappy socket so the wires could slide in and there i had it
