Default Update Discussions with Dan @ Mach V

After I initially upgraded my downpipe, I was discussing this topic with Dan from Mach V. They were doing my Stage 2 tune at the time. Dan told me that the option people were using was to swap the original downpipe back in, get the car inspected, then swap the upgraded one back in. Mach V will do this for you.

I still have my OEM downpipe, if anyone is interested in it.

What I have done now, based on later discussions with Dan, is to purchase a new non-catted Invidia downpipe. Mach V then cut it, & welded in a VA legal cat. That revised/upgraded downpipe is what I use now, & my STI passed VA inspection at the dealer in July.

So, not only do I have an OEM downpipe available, I also have a catted Invidia downpipe if anyone wants it. It won's pass a VA inspection, but it is good in most states.
