Been running mine since 1200 miles. I currently have 38K miles and have had ZERO issues with my BadMab DP! Highly recommend it and for the price it's of good build quality.

hahahaha
you snapped a picture of it on my car, eh?

yea, to be fair...it did come with a 90 degree bend that basically was a defouler, but even then the fitment was off and moved my exhaust tip to the right.
dunno if you got that on cam?

I run the downpipe on my LNF and its great. The O2 sensor is close to the exhaust shield but all you have to do is cut the exhaust shield.

I never had an issue with mine. I agree that the 02 sensor placement is poor, but a 90* bend defouler fixes that.

I don't understand why they didn't just weld a pipe on, instead, like ZZP did. It's just second-rate.

the zzp is only 150 with the angled bung, and the badmab is 135 without it..i think for the extra 15 its worth the extra money to buy zzp..
now if you are getting it for like 100, then get it....

This. Depending on the price difference, you may want to look into the ZZP. The ZZP fitment is top notch with no modification of the heat shield or anything required, as someone mentioned above.

I have one. It's a ******* pipe,
weld's were fine on mine, no turbulence causing material.
How can you make a pipe better/more expensive?
I agree that the 02 sensor is a tight fit, some trimming solved that.
This cheap solution works.
It comes with gaskets aswell

I think you have to order the bung on the zzp one. 150 without bung. 170 with bung, IIRC

i had no problems at all with fitment or anything.. the only "problem" I had was getting the stock bolts off

Been running it since 2-1-11. Only issue is the CEL, which is fixed with the vibrant defouler.
