active Autowerke downpipe installed

Got the Active Autowerke catted Downpipe installed and the sound is definitely a lot better than before. I’d say 50% louder + more pops and burbles. No CEL or smells in the cabin. Shout out to Prof. Oak for the hook up on the downpipe!

cold start + revs

Are you on stock exhaust? If you are, you must have switched your exhaust tips.

Yep! Only thing I’ve changed is the downpipe and I just switched out the tips to quads

Sounds good!

I feel like the downpipe has arguably the biggest impact on the exhaust. I struggle to notice a significant difference/improvement than an AA downpipe and a downpipe+fancy exhaust (sound wise).

Agreed! But a full exhaust system will def give it an extra boom. My friend just switched out his mid pipe and it made a pretty big difference. Thinking of that next…
