corksport divorce catted downpipe 65mm review question

[eliwwjd]

I was considering to purchase for Christmas a cs divorce 65mm dp but had a few questions to those who have it. At the moment I have the corksport racepipe. How is the noise and smell compare to with just racepipe? should I expect way louder sound and really bad fumes smell?
Emissions in PR are not so strict but was still wondering if I was able to pass emissions test?Is the long catted downpipe a true 3" piping from end to end? (The reason why im asking is because I see divorce model has 2 separate exhaust flows being one for the wastegate)
Hopefully somebody can help me here!

noise and smell are things that don't translate well across the internet.

and none of us are experts on puerto rican emissions laws, come on bro

Ok maybe I didn't explain myself correctly, what I meant was how bad are the fumes from the catted downpipe considering that the cat is smaller and has less cells compare to oem cat?
How much louder is it when compared to having just the cs racepipe and oem cat?
I know you are not an expert in Puerto Rican emission laws but like for instance, in the states is this cat sufficient to pass emissions test?(Just want to know, that's all)

I've got a divorced downpipe (cat-less) and race pipe and muffler delete and corksport single exhaust catback, so basically nothing after the turbo except the resonator. I run Meth and haven't noticed any bad smells.

Thank you Sir for your answer. Just what to have an idea of what to expect from product based on user reviews. Wanted to know how louder can it get when compared when coming from my setup which is stock catback.Thank you guy!

But everyone behind you after you get in it wonders why their eyes are burning.

As long as you have a cat in there you shouldn't notice any fumes. Once you go completely cat-less look out.

If you dont have a cat you WILL smell the exhaust.

How much/how bad will depend on your personal sensitivity to it.

Thanks texasboy21! When i installed my cs racepipe i didn't notice any, i mean any smell at all but now that the dp comes with a low cell cat, i don't know if the smell will be noticable. Also still debating if its going to be sufficient to pass emissions test.Oh well☹️

Try checking your local emissions laws. OBD scan only? Sniffer? Visual? Bribe the guy with tostones and you're good? Figure that all out and it will help you figure out whether this DP will pass.

lol yeah! tostones. You should try them yourself they are really good. The only way to know is putting the local shop emissions sniffer to see if it pases but you can't do this unless you are actually doing your annual emissions test. People pay to get their cars passed on emissions

I have tried them, and they are good.

So, you know you get a sniffer test done in PR. I'd say search through the forums, look for people with similar setups to yours with the DP you are looking at and see if they are passing or failing that test. Not sure if all sniffer tests are the same, but it's a start. If you want to get more in depth, find limits for hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, NOX, etc.

Or just get the DP and pay to get it passed like others.

I think the consensus is that if you have a cat somewhere in your exhaust system and your car is warmed up you *should* pass the sniffer.

Also I had a full catless on my speed 6 when I had it and only ever smelled anything when I had a an exhaust leak from the gasket going to shit. When it was sealed up I didn't really smell anything.

Thanks for your inputs, they are valuable to me.
