haha, i did the DP install this weekend myself. Same problem not able to mat the DP's to the catback section so I'm running just the DP's my self. I'm probably going to cut a piece off of the extra piping that came with it to complete the whole thing. But at some point I will definitely weld in cut-outs. It sounds like such a beast just dumping straight out!

and yes the turbos are loud as sh*t!

 

yeah, i got my cat-back to fit, not like a glove but it did fit, i just hooked it all up under the car then started hooking it up from the back forward. I also ran my car with jsut DP's on to see what it was like loved the sound , question for you klum what kind of shocks are you running?

 

i really want to go out and take off the cat back right now and go for a little drive with the dps to hear it but then again im to lazy to do all that just to have to put them right back on

 

you should do it man, you have flanges installed so it should be a piece of cake, especially after the shop modified your exhaust. I bet it's even easier to take the cat back components off of the hangers now. It is wicked loud, too loud for me, the drone inside the cab gets bad to the point your ear drums start to hurt.

I don't like the exhaust that loud, but I love the sound of the turbos spooling with just the DPs, sounds like a F-18 is taking off...until you really mash the gas, then the ridiculously loud engine drowns out the turbos

Klum,

How did your DP install go?

 

You could always just run downpipes until inspection comes around

 

wow, i have been MIA for a while. My DP install took about 5 hours or so. Definite pain in the ***, especially those F-ing heat shields. But hey what's wrenching without bloody knuckles?

As for my suspension... I'm running Bilstein shocks with H&R springs.

 

Yah, those heat shield were a pain in the ***. I had to wedge a pair of pliers down to where the heat shields sit and do some bending to allow enough room for the O2 to stick through. The SSA people didn't get the primary O2 bungs quite in the right place.

 

yeah, o2 bung does suck really sucks on the drives side more then the pass side. I finally just used wire cutters and made my hole bigger fits like a glove. Thanks Klum that is what shocks i just got but didnt know what springs to run h&r or 2bennett.

 

I'm very happy with the H&R's had the sport springs on my A4 before this. I highly recommend them.

 

The lip on your front bumper. I must have it. Where? How?
