can anyone confirm me if these are AR DPs

ontopofm · 11-25-2008, 04:34 PM

Im supposed to get RR DPs from a member but got these instead. Kinda of piss right now but if they're AR DPs then Im happy with it. 1st pic is the real AR DPs

enrita · 11-25-2008, 05:22 PM

look just like mine! AR FTW!

ontopofm · 11-25-2008, 05:28 PM

thanks, how many gaskets does AR come with?

jpsimon · 11-25-2008, 05:30 PM

I'd take AR over the RR, so be happy!

They aren't Riss because they polish the welding points.

i was shocked when i opened the box seeing all the welds knowing RR DPs are smooth and polished, i thought these arent for our car then thought they might be AR, now knowing that they're AR im relieved

how many gaskets are needed for AR DPs installation? i got only 2

you only need 2, those are for the mid pipe connection to the downpipe. You can actually reuse the stock gaskets FYI.....ask Mr 5 about that.

only 2.
You should be happy that you got gaskets because the OEM gaskets could be reusable.

Here's the final decision...look at the gaskets and tell me if they look like the ones below. Those are AR gaskets:

less back pressure = hp gain
better throttle response
more turbo sound
less weight

A priest can confirm you.
I don't know about the DP's though?

Juicer · 11-25-2008, 09:14 PM

Yep, those are AR design pipes. Congrats, IMO they are better than the ones you were supposed to have gotten (although the difference is probably minor). Enjoy!

ontopofm · 11-25-2008, 09:32 PM

these pipes are huge, from scammed feeling to
