How To Drivetrain :: ALTA R56 Cat-back Install
#26
I always thought the mcs exhaust had a bit sporty sound to it already. I didn't want anything much louder because i enjoy cruzing down the highway windows up and music blasting. I've had this on for a couple days and this cat back isn't much louder than stock. When just casually driving I don't notice the difference unless i really pay attention. It's only louder when accelerating and it sounds better because it's only the deeper tones that are louder. When cruising on the highway it doesn't drone even though these pipes are nice and thick. I'd get this just for the improvement in looks when you look underneath and see a nice shiny piece of thick steel instead of the ugly stock one which doesn't match with a mini. The power difference is noticeable right away because the slight delay when downshifting followed by stomping on the gas is gone, which is the first thing i did when an A4 pulled up next to me. I'd like the downpipe too but i think it might be too loud.

A lot of people have recently been inquiring about this installation as well as how hard is it to do at home, (some contemplating the current special CLICK HERE )
As always let me know if I can help further!
