Nice job!  If there's metal on there tho, maybe coat with some sort of Plastidip or something to retain thermal properties?

What do you mean? I put thermal mat on the inside which reflects radiant heat upto 2000f, the only reason i put the mat there was because i was worried about protecting the surrounding plastic from the heat of the down pipe.

Note: I also used rivet washers so its not only fastened to the plastic as that may widen over time.

Gotcha.  I saw the thermal mat in the first pic, the second pic looked like a metal piece to me hence my comment :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

How about Heat Wrap the Pipes... We Did... and the Belly Pan
is required at high Speed.. Hood shake at the Back is Wicked @ 90 and above
Almost Scary.. so keep it on for sure... We also notice that the pins can loosen up
over time, so we put a SS washer in with the Pin to tighten the loose ones up.

You might need hood pins if you decide to investigate deep triple digits anyway, belly pan or not.
