Catback owners, which downpipe?

I looking at picking up the Invidia or Alta catback, but have read that some downpipes do not bolt right up? Can anyone confirm which downpipe will bolt up to either of these?

Nothing bolts directly to the Alta catback...except their DP which they don't even make anymore.

Any stock length DP will bolt to the Invidia. I had a Riss DP with mine....

Invidia FTW

Where can I pick up a Riss DP? I tried to search for their site, but it's down. Out of business I'm guessing?

Yep they are long gone...

New Riss Racing DP's can still be had though, keep your eyeballs peeled on eBay...they seem to pop up there every week or so

achilles, give exhaust depot a call. I know they don't produce the 3inch dp's anymore to sell like they used to but from what I remember, they might be able to make one for you if you call and ask. it might cost a little more but would be worth it IMO.

Invidia Q300 and Riss Racing DP are awesome. But I am pretty sure any catless DP will work. So if you are out not to spend a lot of monies look at Exhaust Depot. They make a catless for a decent price.
