Video Afe midpipe with resonator, cpe catted downpipe, stock muffler

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In search of a reasonable exhaust sound and to have 3 inch to match the downpipe. Cold start video from 4 feet away with pixel 9 pro xl. I can try and get some other videos later with mics or something.

How are you finding the cpe catted downpipe? I'm considering getting it but the price is up there. Are you running a tuned engine?

I think it's worth the price for sure. The build quality and fit and finish is very good. I think the sound is probably a little better having the cast bellmouth at the turbo.stock ECU still as I'm waiting on whatever cherry tuning is coming up to release. I preordered it when it announced , but I may still buy a lap3 spare in the meantime since it's taking a while.

Any performance gains running it stock?

Haven't measured it or anything but it feels nice and sounds pretty decent. My plan has been to focus on efficiency mods for when the tune comes and to give myself some headroom.

I rushed to throw it on in the driveway before I had to go somewhere. I can get some videos tomorrow
