Reuse your stock stuff and you're fine. I didn't have to do any dipstick tube bending or mess with the oil cooler, either. Yay Gen3!  |
Ahhh! I hope you used the support bracket!! Also, I hope you reused the OEM gasket. If you ever have problems boosting with this downpipe, it's because of the supplied gasket (It isn't precisely cut and it blocks the wastegate door from freely opening/closing). I thought the downpipe was very high quality when I got it. It's not too hard to screw up on a pipe...
anyways, make sure you use a mounting support with any aftermarket downpipes...KO downpipes crack too, you just don't hear about it because they have a good service and they usually fix it for you.
