I'm running that right now. Fitment is pretty good, but I had to use aftermarket hardware cause I got it used. You should also pick up one of these little guys:

But it should be pointed out: the ATP pipe is NOT a downpipe, it's a test pipe; merely a replacement for the catalytic converter. The downpipe connects to that test pipe, however.

On the 1.8T they are 2 separate entities, that bolt together with a gasket in-between.

On the 1.8T a test pipe is generally regarded as a direct replacement for the cat (for "off-road use only" of course LOL).
