Description
We utilize the best processes and source components from top North American suppliers for Tapout downpipes that are made right here in the U.S.A. These are constructed from real, high grade 304 stainless steel with .049” wall thickness. Gesi brand 400-cell EPA compliant catalytic converters are included standard. We are so confident in our quality that we are offering a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship and materials, with 24-month warranty on the catalytic converters (covering converter failures, not due to someone running the car too hot).
Fitment is as good as OEM, and these downpipes do not make contact with your transmission or cooling lines. The crossover/balance pipe is located so there is no loss of ground clearance. All four oxygen sensor bungs are correctly located, so your wires do not need to be stretched or extended. Crossover pipe band clamp and transmission lines heat shield are included. OEM gasket kit is optional.
These downpipes sound fantastic, regardless of how the rest of your exhaust system is configured. There is no rasp or drone, and we include a proper band clamp for complete sealing of the crossover pipe.
Without custom tuning, Tapout downpipes can still add a little bit more power. However, where they really shine is by making your exhaust sound louder, meaner and better than it already does.
As of this writing we have logged ~ 150 street miles with the first production set of these downpipes. No codes have set yet, although we assume that DTC P0420 and P0430 may eventually trigger. If so, these codes don’t cause any drivability or other issues (except for the temporary loss of Remote Start functionality).
If one or more of these DTCs does trigger, you can easily clear these codes in a few seconds using a DTC Assassin™ , Aeroforce Scan Gauge or JB4. The best possible tuning solution for these downpipes is our Tapout Remote Tune. With proper ECM tuning, you will retain excellent idle and drivability, maximize your power gains and experience no Check Engine light.
Installation can be done with normal hand tools. Plan for three to six hours if you’re laying the garage floor or in your driveway. If you have access to a lift, it will be much easier, and probably take two to four hours.
Emissions rules and testing varies by state and even county, and we are not familiar with all the rules in each geographic location. Some areas just check to see if you have a Check Engine light, and/or plug a scan tool into the diagnostic port to check DTCs and readiness monitors. Others do a visual inspection. And some even go as far as putting a sniffer into one of the tailpipes. You may want to post in some of the various internet groups on Facebook and ask how others handle emissions testing in your area.

Special thanks to Stephen N. for volunteering his car to make these downpipes a reality.
