Alright so im new to this
but anyways..i got a stock (preety much) a4 1.8 and i ve been looking at the vmr test pipes.
they currently have two for my car; newer one with build in heat sheild 200 bucks and an older one without the heat sheild for 90 bucks.

so im looking to spend as little as possible, being a student and what not.
do you think its necessary to go with the newer heat sheild model or can i just run the old one?
if heat that that big of an issue, couldnt i just use that heat wrap stuff you see on pipes
what do you guys think?

or should i just not get that pipe at all?

 

get the evolution motorsports 1. call fred there and he will help you, he is really nice. they are in baldwin park

 

hows the pricing?

 

200 installed

 

does vmr have a website I can't seem to find it. I've been looking at the atpturbo down pipe for 160.

 

They have their products on Ebay and they are Vendors on audizine.com

 

From what I have been told the heat shield is more so it looks like a stock cat for when you get your inspection and that it doesn't do much to help with heat.

but def. get a TP IMO

 

TP IMO??..whats this



thats what i heard too but they scewed it all up by having to put "for off road use only"... that can always be taken care of tho.

 

lol sry "Test Pipe in my opinion"
