I also couldnt find any, but I have seen a modded version in real life with a 3.5 pipe to the back and it was loud AF, raspy, but that was the point of the 900HP build. I'm not sure this car benefits from that. The turbo sounds were wicked but the burbles were gunshots like a crapped out GTI.

I think any clips with a midpipe and a controller that keeps the valves open is equivalent to straight pipe since open valves bypass the muffler? At least that's my setup and it's sufficiently loud.

I wanted to compare how it sounds with just a straight piped exhaust no valves or anything like that |

I did it. Catless downpipes. Catless midpipe. Dinan axel back. Basically a stainless steel pipe from the turbos to the Dinan muffler. With valves open, it had no air flow interference. Also had the rk front mounts with the larger diameter tubing with a custom tune on pump 91. It averaged 3.0s 0-60mph with nothing removed for weight savings. People like remove the passenger seat n shit lol.
I didn't do it for sound, was purely performance. But, I did have different parts on separately. So for sound, it depends what you want. Hearing it though speakers via a video is not really going to paint the picture, even a little. You have to hear it in the car or at least in person, but for us, we are driving it so the sound from the cockpit is what matters the most. If you aren't looking to spend money, or tune/code, then just get a midpipe and nothing else. If you're okay with tune/code, I'd do catless dps and nothing else. If savings is not a concern, go with an axel back and that's good enough. I heard them all, I liked the Dinan the most, and it looks the best to me. The tips are sized correctly for an suv, like 4.5" diameter, whereas the akra is like 3". It's a Huge difference. Plus akra is like 3x the price because of hype. I had a full custom titanium exhaust on my mitsubishi evo 9 years ago, so you know the titanium thing I did it, it's mostly marketing to get you to drop 3x and you will not notice any difference at all. They say weight savings but like that's the marketing. If weight savings is that much of a concern, especially on a luxury suv, then I rather just drop ten pounds and keep the extra like $4k and spend it on getting chicks cuz I'll be better looking too. If you wanna feel like you'll fuck some shit up, then do all of them. Nothing will compare to you on the road, but you'll wanna be flooring it a lot. It is loud. And the burbles, like I said, you'll fuck some shit up. |

All these people talking about catless downpipes make me laugh. Even STEVE DINAN himself said "It's definitely not worth the 12 hp gain..." Polluting the earth for that measly gain & tossing that **it into the air just is foolishness.
