Default If you find out...

... let me know! I've asked, but haven't gotten much feed back - other than that's a lot of money to spend. My only guess is that not many have put them on yet....

Default I've got APR downpipes...

They made a big difference to the top end power. The engine revs so much more freely now. What else do you want to know?

Here goes:

1) They cost $1600 (available thru www.goapr.com)
2) The build quality is excellent, probably as good as any on the market.
3) The pipe diameter is 2.25"
4) My installer said the whole exhaust system including downpipes fitted very well. He was suprised given it was an aftermarket product.

Finally, you will probably have to go with a matching chip if fitting downpipes. Because the pre-cats are removed you will get an O2 related error unless the ECU is programmed specifically.

Hope this helps
