Hey guys im new to the forum and i just had a question about installing my exhaust. Currently i have a completely stock exhaust system on my s4 and i just saved up enough to buy the awe twin 1 exhaust system. Would you recommend that i wait until i get a set of piggies to do the install or is it not that big of a deal. I just turned 19 and am going off to college next year so money is definately, and i mean definately an issue but the piggiesseem to be a pretty cheap answer to the outragousprices of downpipes. Are they my best option and doyou recommend getting them instead of staying stock for about a year until i can buy actual downpipes? Thanks in advance for your help guys

 

From what I have read, piggies are a GREAT upgrade, if you can afford the downtime of sending your stockers in. I plan on upgrading to those eventually when regular maintanence stops raping my wallet. I think upgrading to piggies also gets rid of the "pressure washer" exhaust note, if yours happens to make that sound, like mine....

 

yea ive heard that they are great as well. do you know if i have to send in my stock ones first or can i just get the core charge refunded to me when i send my stock ones back in?

 

I was thing about pigge pipes as well but dont know were to go to get some or who to call

 

YES, install the exhaust now, it will make a slight difference. If you have a jack & some simple hand tools, it should take you about 30min to install.

Search the forums, for used DP's, & send them in for a core.

 

alright thanks for the advice they should be arriving any day now, and yea ive worked as a mechanic in one of my dads shops ever since i was a kid so the install isnt the part im worried about. oh, and as an answer of the question where to buy them, i think that vast performance offers one of the best deals on em.

 

Vast is the ONLY place to get them.

 

replacing the downpipes is really that easy??

 

NOPE, they are a royal PITA, some shops will not do it. Expect to pay about 8-10hrs of shop labor to remove & install.

 

so then you must have been estimatin 30 mins and simple hand tools for the cat back section?
