Title: Just had 3'' Downpipe and Sports Cat fitted
Post by: Aparoon on September 21, 2009, 02:22:07 pm: Ive just got back from pipewerx where i have had a dp and cat made up on the car to fit the standard cat back, it is awesome!! The quality of it is amazing, i watched him make it in front of me, its finished so well he spent ages cleaning it up and smoothing the welds etc. This is the 2nd downpipe ive had from pipewerx and wont be going anywhere else for exhaust!

Im just downloading the stage 2 map but even without it theres a massive difference, feels so much more willing to rev, picks up well too especially top end :smiley:

Im very happy with it :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

What was the cost? How much more for a full system?

Post by: Aparoon on September 21, 2009, 02:34:15 pm: I didnt ask about the full system as i wasnt looking to get it, but i paid Â£500. Well worth it!!

Post by: Janner_Sy on September 21, 2009, 04:42:46 pm: I have the pipewerx 3" dp on my vRS with std cat back, and it sounds nice. i tried the owner of AMD essex's vRS which had a full miltek TBE and his didnt sound as meaty. Id be dubious to know how loud the CAT back would be on it though.

is yours k04 or k03

Post by: robern2 on September 22, 2009, 01:41:38 pm: I enquired about a turbo back system for my edition 30, about 3 months ago. Unfortunately the cost for the system was expensive compared to blueflame and Milltek but I'm sure a group buy may improve things.

Post by: Aparoon on September 22, 2009, 02:13:22 pm: Well i had a massive urge to buy the apr rsc exhaust but when i came to my senses realised it just wasnt realistic at Â£1400 :scared:

I was torn between a cat back for sound or dp for performance, i chose the dp as i knew i would always want it and as a bonus it has improved the sound so im made up.

Spoke to jbs the other day and am thinking about getting the kmd internals then i should be shmo didly :jumpmove:
