Don't know of anyone who has it here, I looked at it>>>
before going with the Techtonics unit. It's larger in diameter, and has an integrated cat like the stock unit, so unlike the Neuspeed version, it doesn't require an cutting or welding. Makes putting the stock DP back on easy if you're ever inclined to do that. I think the idea behind the NS unit was to retain the stock cat, since replacing it with anything else may technically be illegal in many states? I've had no problem passing either a visual inspection or the emissions test here in NY.
As for the TT pipe, it works. Sounds good, fits well, and definitely makes additional top end power, by the seat of the pants. There are several here with this item, and I think the feedback has all been good except for one guy who had fitment problems for some reason. The TT DP can be bought in two versions - straight 2.5 in to mate up with an aftermarket exhaust, or with a reduction behind the cat to fit a stock catback. Even the reduciton version will work with aftermarket CBs, though - mine is mated up ato a Borla.

They are 15mm front and 20mm back and sorry but dont have any pictures at hand showing the wheels. Your sig says we have the same spacers.

Since a the dp comes after the cat, is it safe to assume that there is no point in getting a big DP?
