Downpipe fyi I installed my catlless hogan Downpipe today. By far the best mod for power aside from my tune. Anyone on the fence for their next mod, jump off this is the one. Sotp is certainly much more pull up top and sounds nasty even at idle.

Has anyone had any issues with the catted or catless downpipes making noise? like the ting/ring or ticking? Mine rings a little im going to try to heat wrap it and replace both the gaskets tomorrow.

My catless ticks /rings alittle. I think this is the nature of the beast. I replaced both gaskets when I installed it. Does not bother me. Only really noticeable at idle or with windows down.

Have not tried any wrap does not bother me enough to mess with. I too second the nice power gain and awesome exhaust note with the catless downpipe. Pretty sweet to watch people do a double take to see if that exhaust note is coming from my car 
Baltsk8er since you live nearby let me know if you want to try wrapping your downpipe, I have a 2 post lift in my garage. Makes things a lot easier.

Mine has always ticked a little. Kinda gives the car a bit of a 60's/headers sound.
Anyway, it is an awesome mod, and I think it played a big part (along with the tune) in getting me to 275 WHP.
