Turbo back downpipes: you need to drop the motor on AWD, and I think you need to get different motor mounts if you are AWD

Thx guys. Just to be clear, I have AWD and want to install the Redstar DP's to go catless. I am keeping the stock bridge pipes (the bent pipes from the turbo to the Downpipes). To install just the Downpipes I can do so without dropping the tranny and front diff?

Cheers

Black Friday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a bunch of other local traditions ring hollow in Russia despite some attempts to import Western influence. I would be surprised if a custom order manufacturer like Red Star accommodates any of it. Having said that, the resellers might do it in as much as their commissions allow them to do to generate orders. Just a hint.

This is pretty much what I was expecting. Trying to look at historical trends shows the resellers tend to offer sales on overstock. Tuners will have sales for their off the shelf tunes. Special order or low volume parts rarely have much of a discount (maybe shipping...)

This is what they communicated with me.
A bit of a discount can be given for black Friday but the catch is delivery / production times will be extended past 4 weeks. So basically you will get a discount buy your order will NOT be given priority in production after Black Friday.

The 212 factory downpipes don't have heat shields on them like the 213 factory downpipes - did anyone order the downpipes with the heat shields? Or did you get them wrapped?

Do the heat shields help out for our cars and is it worth it, or waste of $$$?

I won't need a tune with the 200 HSI cats, correct? I don't want a CEL/tune - only noise.

Thanks.

With 200 cel cats it is a hit or miss in terms of triggering a CEL

I ordered mine with heat shields to cut try and prevent heat from getting to the transmission.
