Downpipes

Post by DXB_RS6 » Sun Oct 15, 2017 5:45 pm

C7 with Akrapovic Exhaust system.
Currently have a stage 1 MTM Tune.

Anyone have ideas on where to get decent downpipes to fit this?

Also- Pro's vs Cons?

Cheers

You could try speaking to Akrapovic and see if they will make you a set?

How mtm piggyback performance good?

Why you didn't chosen Miltek catback? That would solve your problems, you could just get Miltek downpipes and that's all.

Sorry, I made a typo. The tune was done by MRC.

Its good. Much better than stock. Not perfect tbh in terms of smoothness etc, sometimes it can get confused unlike the stock one.

Its much sharper and more responsive. Much quicker, so quick it broke my prop shaft within a week.

Went for the Akrapovic because of the sound. It's just right for me. It's a matter of taste u guess. Milltek sounded to loud and boy racer. Akrapovic sounds more tuned, a little like a masarati, not as deep as stock, more refined.

Is there an uprated one to handle the torque?

It was custom so he will modify it.

Also have a problem with the revs sticking. Meaning, when I rev the car, the revs won't come down as fast as it should. Takes a few seconds to reach back to 0. Happens very randomly but annoying.

They need to fox this also.

These prices seem mental - can't a good exhaust fabricator custom make some?
