My Leo y-pipe should be here today. I'll let you know how it fits. But it's for an '09 not an '08, but the quality should be the same.

CroR1 replied 1 month, 1 week ago
true on the quality. yeah let me know if they left the 02 on 09.

leo and akra make great quality for sure. the leo stuff is priced a bit better though normally. Both are great quality though. it's like trying to compare a Ferrari to a Lambo...

Just installed the Leo y-pipe. Fitment was okay. It did have a bung for the O2 sensor. There were two problems with the pipe. 1) the O2 sensor is VERY close to the frame, probably about 3/16" from touching. 2) I had to trim some plastic from the battery pan to prevent it from melting on the pipe that goes to the left side. Otherwise it was a top quality piece. Very nice welds, came with ...

The Akrapovic pipe is hands down a better built device. We're comparing the Italian, "let's have a glass of ciante" building practice to that of Slovenian "do it right or go to the gulag" mentality. That's not to say the Leo Vince is bad, because it isn't, it's just that, among other things, Akrapovic has their own metal foundry on site, so their quality control shows through in their products....

Actually, the Akrapovic link pipe does include a bung for the lambda sensor. Check out their Schematic:
