ok, HPF totally redeemed themselves, I love the fitment. Even w/ an iCarbon diffuser, the tips still stick out just a tad, to where you can see the HPF logo
outstanding work! |

Those spacers look massive and appear to compromise the purpose of that brace all together. Those lowered, becareful cause it would sure suck to snag on that

Sounds like you have a killer in your hands. The revs sound incredible. I'm also intrigued as to what else you have done under the hood. Those turbos whistling make you wonder.........

lol no, the whistle comes from turbo spool up. When the wastegates open (which ONLY happens at full boost - this is how boost is controlled) all you hear is a slightly louder exhaust note, which cannot be heard in this video since these cars are not programmed to hit full boost while being revved in place with no engine load.

So how do you explain the wastegate rattle that gets louder as you rev the engine videos (stationary vehicles mind you). Not trying to debunk you just trying to understand where the rattle is coming from...the turbo's, wastegates, or whatever regardless are not supposed to sound like that..... |

^^^Nah I don't think so...when I first added my exhaust and midpipes it was a pretty quiet sound (over a year ago now) compared to how loud it is now...mine is at least near as loud as in the video...I was told from a pretty reliable source that is was the wastegates rattling...upon making a wastegate adjustment (procede) said rattle was reduced with the added side-effect of the exhaust being louder....this is all at idle...
