Did your Wagner come with the turbo flange gasket or did you order that separately? and how loud would you rate the sound out of 10? I like what Wagner is 200 cell. I plan to flash tune so the CEL wouldn't be an issue

not sure anymore, but sound wise it is sure a improvement , if i have to give a number for sound i think

oem downpipe is a 1
cattless is a 10
Wagner is a 8 ( nice sound , not extremly loud , i,m 59 years and i liked it )

That's fantastic. 8 is exactly what I would want. Installation and fitment was decent?

.... Looks brand new

I'm stuck between AA and Wagner. But because I will flash tune the car, I think Wagner will be the best option. Evolution Racewerks is too but I like that Wagner is a euro DP.

Mike told me that the 200 cell Wagner DP CAT is not HJS but still seems to be top quality judging from the picture you shared.

Here looking for some suggestions on downpipes, AA sounds like a good option

I'm very new to this but I would like to make my exhaust louder without a drone. Any suggestions?

If you are ever looking to tune it to stage 2. Definitely start with swapping to high flow catted downpipe. Check out Active Autowerke, wouldnt throw you a CEL.

If you are not and just looking to make your exhaust slightly louder, then just do a resonator delete.

Both option no drone

mike@x-ph.com · 08-11-2021, 09:28 AM

+1 but with the downpipe, you are not only getting a louder sound, its also deeper in the midrange (plus more power

)

cooolone2 · 08-30-2021, 07:09 PM

Wow, a little disappointed to receive notice that delivery is pushed back to mid-september now

Is like being told Christmas is postponed until Valentine's day... But I'll hold steady & wait, lol
