are there any disadvantages/problems with having a downpipe?

.. What kinda downpipe y'get? Just curious. I'm thinkin' that a downpipe is gonna be the next thing on my list -- so I'm startin' to poke around, seein' what kinds are out there, and what people think of the ones they've purchased.
And I have a question, bein' the turbo newb I am .. I'm out in Central PA, where we don't CURRENTLY have emissions. But now there's word floatin' around that they may put them into effect. So if I do get a downpipe, and it turns out I have to pass emissions inspection .. what's the best idea for how t'pull that off? Just throw on a muffler and call it a day or what?

You'd need a cat to pass emissions......not a muff. LOL
I said muff.

Just buy one with a hi-flow cat. or have someone make it for you. btw I see you have a fast car....what kind?? lol

Yeah, well .. SORTA fast. I have a SORTA fast car! Maybe I should fix that in my sig, right?
Okay, so. Now that I got that down -- God, I hate the fact that I have to have a cat, grr -- but anyway .. Any suggestions on a good downpipe WITH a cat so that I can be emissions legal?
I know, my bad, I haven't done any research on this whatsoever. I'll slap myself a few times in compensation.

heres a good site www.makeyourown.com
lol
I bought mine from a member here, turboege......after seeing it in person I may be making a new down pipe though. Too many projects for me to be making the whole exhaust (rebuilding the motor in the scamp, bought another rx-7 (v-8 swap)), have to wait to get the speed back from the bodyshop to mock up a down pipe though.

spiking is different though. creep is when your boost reaches the set level, then because the wastegate can't keep up with the exhaust flow it will get higher as the engine revs higher. dsm's suffer from it a lot on internally gated turbos, and when they go with a 3" exhaust (greater difference in pressure) some people get really bad creeps. just wondering if anyone has experienced this when going to 3" exhaust.
our s pipe might keep this from happening though, or a well designed o2 housing as a replacement to the s pipe could keep it from happening.

no creep
it is a Protosport Downpipe www.protosport.net
a friend of mine makes them
when u buy a downpipe u replace the stock pipe with cats. so when it comes to your smog check, just put the stock pipe back on. it doesnt take long, maybe 30 min or so.
