Sexy. I didnt want to spend an extra 120 bucks for the coating

$500 was pushing it for me. At very least I got the limited feature forsure. Seems interesting.

The coating would have been a good choice none the less.

Tell gs to send u a plug. Or get a wideband lol.

Look at this beauty!
That's cool. Should make wastegate operation smooth, but not sure if it was necessary.

The coating is super useful. Keeps the under hood temps down a good amount.

Yea I should have opted for the ceramic coating but I didnt have the money and NEEDED a downpipe fast. Had less than 500 to spend on one tho.

Im gonna wrap it anyways for now. Maybe later ill get it coated locally. But I doubt it will cost less than the 120 bucks they were charging.

Go to Accessories Plus and ask for a quote. I had a couple things done there before.

God I hope it fits around the 4eat. None of the others have except the titek.

And thats the most coin ive dropped on a downpipe so far.
There's an easy way to fix your problem

Regarding the wastegate operation, it should eliminate the turbulance that is prominent with the bellmouth types which could increase the flow, which is a good thing.

I'm planning to wrap the pipe as well with the DEI Ti wrap and then spray it with the hi-temp silicon spray.

I PMed GS on Friday evening, and they replied today! Said that there was supposed to be a bag with both GS gaskets, and hardware including the O2 plug. They will ship me out the stuff on Monday! This is why I will always keep buying GS, not only for their awesome products, but their service.

Absolutely.

I mainly meant versus the non limited version. ( or the maddad/stromung/crucial type that doesn't have the machining done there)
