First off, I want to thank everybody for their input!

Hey UMfan, I appreciate the offer, but I think that I would rather just go with a whole complete downpipe. Like I said in my original post, I had the u-bend taken out but put back in due to them not doing it right so I just don't think it would be a good install. Plus by the time I pay shipping and them to install it, I could probably pay another $100 and get a 3" dp with out the u-bend!

Ok, it looks like i want to go with a 3" down pipe that is a bolt-in with a cat and no u-bend! I believe that ZZP has the best deal on it. I just want to ask you to make sure that this is what I need to order. I selected these options:
1xZZP downpipes
Model: 3 inch bolt in With Cat
Option 1:Interlock flex
Option 2:None selected
Option 3:Add front and rear gaskets
Option 4:Send me a prepaid return label

I chose not to go with the 304 stainless dp because I don't really think the extra $50 is worth the investment. What do you think? Like I said, I plan on doing no modding to the car and it has 164k on it and no major work has been done to it. I just think that over the almost 10 year period and reading about them that it would not hurt to change it out! Is going with the regular 3" dp going to cause me any problems? If I have too, I can go with an O2 spoof later, but that is only if I have too!

Another question I have is about the gaskets. I chose add front and rear gaskets, is that right? All I need is gaskets and not doughnut type gaskets or anything?

Also, is there anything that I need to know when putting this on or to do in preparation to take the old one off and put the new one on?

I'm sorry for asking all these questions, but I just want to make sure that I am getting the right thing before ordering it!

I plan on sending the other back though since I have no use for it like UMfan and getting the $50 coupon. If possible and anybody can use the coupon, would anybody be interested in buying it for less than what it is worth maybe! I doubt I have any use for it since I do not think there is anything I need to buy with it.

Thanks again
