You wont feel a difference until you take the cat of your d17, so yeah thats the correct downpipe..I had the same one but it was a megan brand..get a shorty header and that downpipe it will be noticably get quicker, specially when combined with an exhaust system

I got the megan header that he is referring to. It has all kinds of corrosion. I am not happy with it. Crappy flat gasket. Wrong size donut gasket. They wouldn't send me the right one until I send the wrong one back. Spend the money on a descent one if you care about quality.

I was talking about the downpipe not the header. NO PROBLEMS with the down pipe just the natural color change from heat.
