"DEC"

or

"Eastern"


I am looking to replace my downpipe / flex joint / catalytic converter assemblies for each bank of my 2.8L V6.

I would save roughly $400. going with these brands over OEM from the Dealership.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these manufacturers and the quality of their parts over OEM.

TIA

long. The bends on both driverside and passenger side were slightly in the wrong place and slightly at the wrong angle. driverside worse though. Long and short of it, very annoying week. Im in the process of goin back to the originals, having the flex joints replaced, and gutting the cats.

OH, And good luck with their customer support.

Yup. We are running one on the 99 A6 right now. Perfect fit.
