I wanna hear the opinions of those people who have the Circuit Sports downpipe. Ofcourse the reason why a lot of us are looking at this dp is because of clearance. Other than clearance, how does it compare performance wise to the other dp's? Is it worth the money?

the CS DP has the elbow as a part of it. if i didnt get a good deal on my blitz DP, i prolly would have bought the circuit sports.

Since the elbow and dp are all one piece, how much of a b*tch was it to get it to line up? Any little tricks or angles to get it up there? Or is it just down to gettin' a little elbow grease?

I was gonna get the cp, but the reason not is if you decide to change to another turbo thats not in the stock position you have to get a whole new downpipe + elbow as opposed to just a elbow with a seperate downpipe.

It's alittle bit of a pain to tighten down a few of the bolts, but overall, it's a great piece and I'd recommend it to anyone. You don't need to change elbow extensions and dp when you change to another T2 turbo. Clock it in the right position and it'll line right back up.

As far as tricks, put the elbow section up in the car first, get a bolt or nut started on it, then lift the rear section up.... Atleast that's how I did mine. Good luck man.

That don't sound bad at all. From what I read from other people. They talk like it's a major pain in the @ss. I work on military vehicles all day, so I know all too well about b*tch bolts.

how often do you remove it? and it's not hat much harder anwyays... I've had mine for close to a year and love it. Clears always cept for the rest of the exhaust, performs just as well if not better I highly reccomend it to anyone who has their car lowered, which is most ppl with sr's. so go guy it!
