MPE + VRSF catted dp + exhaust flap mod
Might as well jump on all the exhaust threads. Ordered the car with MPE and took delivery last November, did the exhaust flap mod earlier this year and no lights or issues. Yesterday I finally installed a VRSF catted dp. What an awesome difference. Car has not been dyno'd or tracked so I don't have any quantitative info to post. Will take/post a video later today.
I went with the catted version bc I'm undecided on which tune to get and frankly I didn't want it "really" loud. The install was pretty easy and straight forward. Remove the air box, 1 v-band clamp, 1 mid-pipe clamp and 2 nuts. Took a couple hours max. I had to let the car cool down completely to get the V-band clamp off and I did have to use a pipe expander (borrowed from auto parts store) to get the dp to slide into the mid-pipe. The only gotcha was a clip above the 2 main bracket nuts that I didn't notice. Once I pried it up with a screwdriver the dp came right out. Plenty of room even with the O2 sensors installed. |

zero issues with fitment other than opening up the mid-pipe about 1/16". hang it from the bracket, slide it into the mid-pipe, bolted the mid-pipe back up (one nut) and the v-band went on no problem. I started it up while still on the ramps to do a leak check and it's good. couldn't be more satisfied so far. I wanted to ceramic coat it first but I couldn't wait so oh well.
bought it from extreme power house. slight back order but they sent me weekly email updates. Last edited by M340_pilot; 03-21-2020 at 10:58 AM.. Reason: spelling |

Here is the link. It sounds like it could be a great setup, but you only posted a video of startup/idle... I'm sure a lot of people here would want to hear revs in different driving modes. |

shouldn't be happening but there is no guarantee. maybe I need to just get a tune too and make it go away or try to space the O2 sensor out. |

Disappointing to hear you got the CEL. Active Autowerke appears to guarantee no CEL on their DP but it's like 900$... is it worth it, and does anyone have it and can vouch for this? Or just get catless version with tune and call it a day?

The only thing I don't like is the cold start. Def getting that deleted with a tune. Last edited by M340_pilot; 03-26-2020 at 11:45 AM.. Reason: update |

I've been planning to get a tune...just wanted to wait a few more months/miles before doing it. Now I'm trying to figure out if I go with mission performance or someone local in Tampa/Orlando. Mailing my ECU to California isn't really doable unless I take some time off work.
