Yeah if your downpipe is in good shape, then it will be an easy swap back and forth for emissions.

Ya, and I decided to go with a 2.5 inch pipe. Even though I have the supercharger, I don't want to cause turbulence going from 3 inch back down to 2.5 inches. I am headed over to the Post Office now to send back the U-Bend pipe. They said they would give me a credit towards the price of the downpipe.

Doesn't sound like the most reasonable exhaust shop. I took mine to a leading chain exhaust shop (will remain nameless) where they did the u-bend delete for a case of beer. I provided my own flange and o2 bung. They cut and welded everything and it looks top notch, like it was OE. Find out which brand they like and show up at the end of a slow day with beer ready.

Since we have the lift, we could almost do the install ourselves. I have to wait until ZZPerformance gets my return before I can order the downpipe - they are giving me an in store credit.

forget the dp cause after you install it you will later want headers.

Or just a PowerLog and call it a day, since Silver is just her DD and Precious is the true joy :P

Just get the 3" instead of the 2.5".
It's going to neck down from 3" to 2.5" either way you go, but it's better to have it neck down further back in the exhaust since you're blown.

If you have a lift, it should take you all of 15 minutes to install the downpipe.
Assuming that you have an impact gun too since you have a lift, then it'll take you all of 5 minutes.

Well, I got my credit from ZZPerformance today (from the returned U-Bend delete) and ordered my 2.5 w/cat bolt on. I should probably get it by the end of the week. I'll keep you all updated as to when I am going to get it installed.
