+1 for crossing fingers. That really sucks man. Maybe try to get the parts they take off cuz you can de-cat the stock UP if you're industrious and thourough with it, etc. Your buddies 07 DP won't fit your car unless he includes the midpipe (rear cat) too, but even then I'm not sure all the mounting points are the same. I know this because the aftermarket shorty DP I run won't fit on a MY06/07 without a PreMY06 midpipe. They made the DP shorter or longer basically and vice versa with the midpipe. His UP will be catless though, so if it fits, that would be an upgrade. It's got some sort of smog pump thingy on it though so do the research. Buy new OEM gaskets at the dealer or online, but remember, aftermarket parts will always be way cheaper. Might as well upgrade the UP, DP, even the turbo if you end up having to pay for them. I have the EGT probe and stock UP and DP but really wasn't planning on selling them, but let me know if it comes down to it and you need something fast. We could work something out.
