My experience with turbocharged vehicles suggests that will be required an ECU tune when switching the downpipes, because probably the turbos will boost more… causing the ECU to go to limp mode.

But if not, great… that’s what I want.

There you go. Unfortunately it was quite windy, so the sound is not the best. In person it is much better

Akrapovic vs stock

Sounds awesome, in RED mode that is! LOL

Without it, it's pretty tame, pretty much stock-like, which is good to have it when you need it (passing by police check points, late nights at residential neighborhoods, etc.)

In the section of Video where you drive away is that in 'White' or 'Red' mode?

There's been numerous times where I simply coasted (no gas peddle input) by cops to avoid unnecessary hassles.

Nope, it's still there. I actually didn't pay any attention to that, because it was rather nice in a way. Deep sound, some vibrations in the stomack ...

At higher speed the drone is gone as with stock exhaust.

@Daniel135i: there will be downpipe as well!

If the sound is even lower in frequency, I very much doubt that the drone will be easier to deal with. The general problem of a drone is the fact that it is a low frequency resonance that will vibrate through you and the car, so generally speaking the lower the frequency, the worse it is.

Guleb.

Any chance of a clip of the car at redline or an interior video?

Hi, sorry guys for lack of videos, the car was back in the factory. They installed downpipes this time + they will do all the marketing stuff (videos!!!) + measurments.

My first remark with newly installed downpipes: OMFG!

While in "white" mode, it still retains more or less subtile OEM sound, which is perfect for daily use... but in "red" mode:

The sound is like, well I don't know... It is like a beast behind you, just a step away to eat you alive. Deep sound, violent, with all burbling and backfire; it is almost scary. Definetly split personallity, true Jekyll and Hyde.

A friend will edit a video clip till early next week, I hope he did capture this increadible sound better than me. My smartphone did only that:

and this is without hitting any limiter or even close to 5.000 RPM.

The sound is I guess like MotoGP car:


Mr. Akrapovic:
