Default Drive after DP install

Drove my car today for the first time since the DP got installed, felt great. Much better response, boost seemed to spool quicker aswell.

However, my exhaust was not put back properly and hangs lower than it did, i also have a small leak somewhere... looks like tranny fluid....

On the whole though very happy with the gain

Hangs lower how? Cant really change exhaust hanger height, unless you didn't clamp the front and rear sections of exhaust tight enough, and its hanging a bit in the middle (under the seats just about)?

Cool, was it worth it then?...

It may just need a slight adjustment on the bushes or it could not be lined up 100% perfect on the join, have a look underneath and see if you can rotate it

dp's make a noticable gain, so thats always worth it.

And i have to agree with the above, if they didnt align the hangers in the bushings right, it can hang lower or just be off. Just jack up the car and redo it yourself, its not like you have to undo anything

I emailed the people that did it and they said they are happy to adjust it for me, which they should be!

The gains are so worth the 275 dollars i paid for the install and the DP, i really didnt expect them to be THAT noticable, it was as noticable as the chip was.

got the tip re positioned and there is no problem with the tranny fluid. did get a cell that said somethin was wrong with my cat, if it happens again they are going to replace it!

Is this normal for a DP to throw this code?
