I do have a sound clip for reference. I also have a muffler delete clip on my channel as well.

Yours sounds better. Mine has the engine gurgle, more turbo noises, but with the addition of a "metal-sounding" air leak. I should of went with ER for a little more : /

I don't even think a CATTED downpipe is worth it for me, as most of those are $900-$1000...especially if it's minimal gains and barely any extra noise. And I can only assume catted would only baffle the exhaust even MORE than the minimal noise of a catless one.

Thats very strange, I would probably take it to a muffler shop and have them weld the DP to the exhaust to fix air leak. Did you get a chance for your tunning shop to retune your car after DP install yet? (possible gurgle and turbo noise fix?) I'm getting my car tunned tomorrow!

Even with all the info posted here doing a DP is at the bottom of my to-do list. Wish we were hearing some better results! I will say it's nice to hear the turbos spool!

POSITIVES: - It did reduce turbo lag by 20%ish - More power on the top end without tuning for the DP. NEGS: - Fitment was not exact - Fitment caused leak - doubled labor cost and time HOPES FOR THE FUTURE: - VRSF will replace with exact size on second try - Tuning for DP will be a noticeable bump in power AWARENESS: Something to keep in mind when purchasing modified parts for your car. Auto manufactures can change a diameter on a part size with out notifying or sending a press release out. This causes all the aftermarket companies scrambling to adjust. If they don't you get my situation. The best thing you can hope for in these cases is that their customer service is top notch. We're all Guinea pigs in this modification game. The key is patience. I do believe now that the OEM DP can handle stage 1 and 2 tuning that doesn't factor in the DP.

I went with the catted route, through ARdesign and I will say this it uses a race cat, and I can smell the gas at times, and compared to catless whats 5hp or less anyway?

Loss in power is not major. Only downside with catted is the price + the risk of cats failing.

Im getting a stage 2 ecu tune from a reputable local shop called ECU program. Since they're local I have choice of maps based on my current altitude (Which is like 2000 ft above sea level)
This is VRSF DP with 0 drone.
