A pipe is a pipe right? The 100 dollar DC Sports overpipe review. - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

That's a shame. I had $230 DC Sports header on my EF Civic and it fit perfectly. How they could've signed off on this overpipe is baffling.

BRZpower · 04-05-2014, 10:27 AM

100 dollars wasted not the end of the world. but guys..... come on. you need to all relax. why is everyone seem so heated on this forum? we are all here to share and gain info. not attack or start with someone you dont know (over nothing) lets keep the positive info flowing and negative comments for when u get home to the wife and kid

It could be worse. You could have paid $1100 for a header with flanges that are not flat, thin walls that make it sound loud and raspy, and sketchy fitment.

Price and name do not always mean you will get a perfect product.

Nothing that a hammer cant fix with a few good whacks on the overpipe

I'm taking mine off today. First 20 bucks takes it! Obviously shipping is not included. Lol.

Did all the hard work already

20 bucks plus shipping to whoever would like it. Comes with two gaskets and 2 bolts and locking nuts.

@Tenchi this is interesting... my friend just bought one for his car recently.

I'll see if I can borrow his for a test fit over the weekend, my car is going on the lift for some other work.

Curious to see how the fitment is with a 100% stock exhaust system.

What other parts do you have on your car?

This is a better deal. Over pipe and front pipe for 170$ shipped. It fits right too. I've had it on for 2k miles and 2 track days so far with no issues.

I got it because it's cheap and local but most likely upgrading to 3" soon since I have turbo.

thanks for posting this . I just installed it with no problems .

mtscaletta · 04-15-2014, 05:31 PM

I posted about this a few months back. I was one of the first to order this pipe and realize how shady the quality was. It caused my exhaust to fit horribly incorrectly and overall wasn't worth the time to install.

Definitely shady quality. Did you ever send it back to that vendor for a full refund?

Unfortunately I ordered it off of eBay so I ate it. On the bright side it was only 100$ and did stop my exhaust leak.....until the gasket that became exposed by the poor fit blew out lol
