Today had an encounter with a white m4. Not sure if he was stock or not. My mods are a Eurocharge tune only. He was dct trans. We ran from 5-12 i had a passenger about 135 lbs and he had none. End result he had me by 3/4 to a car. How should we say the car did? Good or bad with the tune? Only got to do one run and i was in manual mode sports +

Tej, mind sharing your exhaust mods again. So you have the PE, you took the res out, what else?

Mind writing a proper review of your experience. A video would have helped the most!

That's it lol, I only got the reso removed. I initially just wanted to delete the secondary cats, but our cars don't have them I didn't want the car to be too loud, so I was a little hesitant to do the reso delete. However, it came out perfect in the end.

Cold starts sound 10x better. The first time I heard the cold start after the mod, my first words were "holy ****"
I think the only downside for some people wanting to do this mod, is that it sounds very raspy in SPORT mode, above 4500rpm. Sports+ sounds awesome, just sounds more angry. My friend said it kind of reduced the v6 sound, and it now sounds closer to a v8. It also idles louder across all modes.

I really wanted to do a before and after video, but I just forgot about it lol. The video really doesn't do it justice at all. It's just something you have to hear in person.

Wow, this definitely entered my list now. Wonder how the PE would sound with a res delete and a DP. It should be frigging insane! By the way we do have secondary cats, right after the primary cats. It is wrapped in some weird aluminum net thingy. I am sure you have noticed it.

Are you sure? The shop that removed the reso said we didn't.. There was an SLC43 that was getting work done right beside my car, and it also did not have any secondary cats.

I have been told that these are the secondary cats. I am pretty sure. Do you know what those are?

Tej when you deleted the res, did you replace it with straight pipes or x? With PE we already have a H pipe towards the end anyway.

That pic above is interesting. I'm pretty sure it was replaced with a straight pipe. I was given the option to add an x pipe if I thought it was too loud.

Those are flex connectors. They are not cats nor resonators.

Tej, can you actually confirm that you replaced the resonator by using two separate straight pipes by any chance? Because our resonator is one piece for both banks. No idea what is going on inside that. Is it a x pipe inside the box?

As we already have a H Pipe down the line, is X pipe needed at all?
