I paid $520 shipped for my MAP, catted and resonated. Also had the engine bracket which this doesn't have. $520 was more than fair, IMO.
I wouldn't exactly call them twins, the MAP has cleaner welds and more clearance by the ABS cover but they do look similar tho. Considering this one cost $350 with a cat, that's definitely not bad since I paid $350 for my MAP that didn't include a cat

oh! good to know, thanks for the info! Might spring for a cheap one of those if the light starts to annoy me.
Any down side to the CEL, besides light on dashboard?
I know some can hurt performance / gas MPG but so far gas mileage has only improved (on highway cruising)
Well it failed the magnet test but it didnt stick to the pipe as well as it did to the side of the car, you can tell its only semi magnetic, so there's that lol
Quick guesstimate on the clearance between the DP and ABS shield?
Rev 9 is like 1/4", which sucks.
I have the rev9 downpipe and theres much more than 1/4" between the downpipe and ABS heat shield. For that matter, theres plenty of space between it and any part of the car. It just takes time to get it fitted perfectly then welded up.
As far as this downpipe goes, if I hadn't already bought a downpipe I would get this one in a heartbeat. Price is amazing and quality seems great.
Did your down pipe keep its color after being used? or was that pic from right after install?
Don’t be surprised if you can’t completely get rid of CELs with a spacer. Sometimes you can only just make CELs pop up less often.
Gotcha, I guess I'll just wait until I get the JB4 then. Because that will permanently stop a CEL correct?

The JB4 can be configured to auto-clear the codes when they come up. It will also auto kill your cruise control (or at least it used to)
If you clear codes, you need to turn the ignition off and then on for cruise control to work, even with VCDS it does that, so it's not just a JB4 issue
