Straight pipes=wayyy to loud! (clip)
 
okay so i had the labree high flo cat and miltek down pipe (2 3/4inch) but i was using the stock exhaust...i was getting TERRIBLE gas mileage...so i got an amazing deal on a 3 inch straight pipe so i got it hooked up...and yeah HUGE improvement! alot less back pressure and im gettin 60 more miles to tha tank and there is a difference in the holding boost..but i sound like an SRT-4 (kind of love the garggle it has)

now before you watch this i only TEMP have a side pipe until i find a 3 inch muffler i like!! (also i was already driving the car about a half hour so its all warmed up)

I know that sound all to well...very loud. Drowning when your just trying to do the speed limits. Welds broke on factory punched-out cat before upstream o2. I had to coast past cops at intersections in fear of niose violations. But really cool to hear the turbo in such a raw state.

Yeah my S4 has straight pipe on it and it sounds amazing.
i just did the same thing to the A4 earlier in the week and damn it was wayyy too loud! I ended up throwing a glass pack in there which toned it down to the point where i could drive, but it still has that growl that i like.

You think thats loud you should hear what a 2.0GT35r sounds like with NO exhaust :)


3" is really over kill for anyone running anything smaller then a GT30. A 2.5-2.75" setup would be much better for the smaller turbo setups.

why would a 2.5" be better? after the turbo larger is better but larger also means more sound
