Supersprint downpipe + X-pipe middle section

Hello,
I have just ordered Supersprint downpipes with 200cell metallic catalysts and the X-pipe middle section. My idea ist to use this with the original rear section to get a deeper tone than for example milltek systems, and to leave the looks original. Do you think this will work?
Has anyone here fitted supersprint downpipes or a exhaust, or have you seen videos with it?

Fitting the x-pipe itself would achieve what you want I think. If you were to get 200 cell cats as well I don't know whether using the OEM back boxes would give you the best utilisation of your down pipes and cats.
Also, those who have downpipes invariably have had to have their cars mapped as the sensor warning light normally comes on with the increased flow rate caused by sports cats

The sensor warning is usually only with 100cell catalysts.
I think that the x-pipe itself won´t bring that much. Normally the stock downpipes and catalysts take away a lot of sound.

There have been reports of 200 cell Milltek systems here in the UK causing the sensor light to come on.

Can't comment on the B7 vs Supersprint, but all I can say is you won't be dissappinted with the Supersprint quality, sound, and workmanship....puts most other makers to shame.
Just don't understand why more people don't use them!

Am I right in thinking that you can install the X Pipe alone and it will work fine with everything else OEM? All I'm looking for is an increase in noise and if I can get it that way then not bothered about spending more.

When I and a few lads had CSLs with these exhausts the quality was really bad especially on the bracket welds. Did sound fantastic with 100 cell cats as well and the backboxes were very light.

Strange......I've been using S/Sprint for most of my cars, past and present, and never any problems.
Did you follow it up with S/Sprint, as I'm sure they'd want to know
