I like my cobb downpipe. Its really well made and makes the car so much better
The AMS is such a nice piece if it weren't for that tiny braided flex section. Unless you are running upgraded engine mounts I would be concerned for the amount of abuse it's going to take.
Nowadays there are so many nice DP's out there. IE, BCS, Bull-X are my top picks. I went with IE but it's not installed yet.
That and the 2 bolt flange set up... I wonder how the gasket will hold up... Im looking at that one myself...
I am looking for a DP with a cast elbow (or at least decent vband collar, bends, welds) and the cat placed rear-ward... feels like it will last longer there and be easier to replace.
AMS makes the only one with a nice cat (GESI) that has that configuration.... other than APR... Then there is 42DD and Billy boat... which dont look too bad either... but they have magnaflow cats...
The HPA has the hangers welded to the cat, nice packaging but the cat wont be replaceable and seems like a weakpoint.
So im about to pull the trigger on the AMS it seems....

I'll trade you my apr dp thats catted like I mention to you before in a pm when I tried buying your trackslag dp.Thought I wanted to go the catless route but after a couple of conversations with some buddies, Im going to go the high flow cat direction. Preferably NON-resonated, what are y’alls opinions on best downpipe?
Just to throw another one out there....You may want to take a closer look at BCS Powervalve DP listed above. Nige at BCS does really high quality stuff. More known in Europe since they are in the UK, but again super high quality. Cat is more downstream like you are looking for. Great customer service as well.
It would make sense to go full TBE with that which i dont think i want to do, also i would have to get overseas shipping too right? They dont have US dealers?
