Just installed the CW downpipe and had some issues. It was shipped was Plano, TX. First problem was the diameter on the dp for the turbo side is too big. Took us about 45 minutes trying to get it fit until we measured it and noticed it was .5~1mm too large. Ended up gently grinding down with a dremel and fits fine now. Second issue was the bracket that the dp bolts to the trans. With that bracket on, the dp will not sit properly with the turbo so ended up not installing it.

Where did you buy it from? eBay?

Had this installed last week and ran into the same problems. The downpipe was not seating in the turbo correctly and we had to grind the hell out of it to make it sit.

we also had to expand one of the bracket holes as it will not sit correctly ion the down pipe.

same instance here, but decided not to go through the work and fix a manufacturing defect. the welds on the inside of the pipe weren’t even smoothed out where they welded the turbo flange.

so in my opinion, both VRSF and circuit werks aren’t worth the effort installing. vrsf is missing the brackets to keep it aligned correctly and this one doesn’t even fit.

FWIW... I had a circuit werks downpipe on my N26 and the fitment was perfect. No issues whatsoever for about 50k miles.

Still available?? I doubt it but worth a shot asking lol. I actually ordered one myself from x-ph but its been over a week and hasn't shipped yet. Starting to get paranoid that ER won't ship it to me in CA if its being dropshipped by x-ph.

Hit up ER directly and see if you can pick it up from their shop.

Ya ER is literally 20mins away from me lol, but they also haven't responded to my email yet. X-ph also contacted ER directly and asked why the product hasn't shipped but they haven't heard back either. I'd assume worst case scenario ER could ship to X-ph's LV warehouse and then from there they can fulfill the order and ship to me in CA? Idk... a little paranoid now as I ordered all my mods assuming I would have this downpipe.

I believe when I got my charge pipes I phoned in and got the owner. Had to wait about a week and picked them up. Let me know how you like the catted DP. I've been thinking about ordering one myself.
