DP7S or DP5S Ok guys, I'm ready to finally buy a downpipe but I am conflicted on which one to choose. I would value your input.
Basically, from what I can gather, the DP5S comes without a cat and you have to weld it "to your original converter." <cough, cough>
And the DP7S comes with a high flow magna flow cat that can be configured to be bolted up to your existing exhaust.
Here is the question. I don't have my GXP availible to look at (I am in Iraq). How difficult is it to access the bolts under the hood? What have you guys done with your DP? I appreciate the advice.
I am starting a parts collection to install when I get back home.

haha where in the sa boat brother, im in iraq doing the same thing, gotta **** load of parts at the house waiting..my adivce is, they have one downpipe that for 299.99, it has the high flow cat, but also includeds a bolt in test pipe, so you can switch the cat out whenever you feel like. i like that ideal better, because up in fort drum you need a new york inspection sticker to get on post, so you can always put the cat back in about ten minutes worth of work.

The stock down pipe unbolts from the manifold from under the car. Very easy. I had to cut the bolts that held it to the pipe. Still not to bad. I went with the cat less and welded it to custom 3” exhaust, with out welder very difficult. I thought no cat was a bit much but that’s just me. The down pipe with cat should be simple to put in.
