Man, there are pros and cons. First of, I got the Catted Ar ones. Now, the pro is that, the car is even more responsive now. It can actually breath and theres no bottleneck. So, you can hear a clear wooosh sound underneath your car. Very fast may I add. Now the con. Since its a catted version with 3 inch pipe, it's a tight fitment. The guy who installed my dps even pointed it out to me and that the pipes were touching between some other metal block underneath the car. So he had to bend to the pipes outward. But as I was driving today on the fwy, I could hear and feel the touching of the pipes when hitting on bumps and rough roads. not good. So I will prob call in today to see if he could take a look at it again.

Yea, the XI will be a really tight fit too. That would take like 3-4 hrs worth of labor I've heard compare to the regular catted/catless Dps(1-1.5hrs). The results are worth it, but the facking metal pipes touching it other is annoying me right now. hahaha

Don't be paranoid, it's part of modding the car. Issues will arise for aftermarket products; there's no such thing as a perfect fitment hahaha. Companies lie about that shit. But the results are worth it in my op. I wonder if I need to reset my JB3 to allow it to adapt again or it will adapt on the fly. Lol.

Sweet titties!!! Your car must haul ass. I'm using stock air box for the time being. Still deciding on the DCI or the CAI. Either one should be a winner.

that is true, but I do not track or travel afar. But it's always a good product to get.
