+1 for stillen and ebay downpipes. ATR can suck a big one. There is a reason that company went under and it wasn't because of their great exhausts haha. Everytime a car comes in with an ATR downpipe their estimate increases by 1 hour labor if I even have to touch that damn thing. It never seals up right and leaks like a bitch no matter how you try to install it. People will come in complaining that it leaks, and I tell them to buy a different downpipe.

Mine fits just fine. Seals really well too.

WTF precats. How in bloody hell do you get that crap out? I haven't even touched the rear, and spent a couple hours screwing with the front one. It just won't come out with any tiny bit of haste.

I'm the same way, I figured I'd do mine to see what all the fuse was about. Well I did it on the car with the car sitting on 2 jack stands about 1 foot in the air. Let's just put it this way, I'm glad it's done but I'm sure not volunteering to help anyone else do another one :lol: .
