Default cats or no cats.

there is no emissions in MI. i have LM and heard that with an orp it can sound shitty. i have a TC so it would be even louder than a normal a4 with LM and headers.


what u think?

it doesn't sound "shitty" it sounds "dirty" with is cool. Only a rasp between 2300-2600. Suprisingly quiet at idle and putting around (thanks to the resonator section), but loud, mean, and violent when you're haulin'. And, nothing compares to the backflow sound on rundown, take your foot off the gas anywhere above 2500 and boom! boom! pop pop bam! It's great and it scares people.

I just got longtubes and ory and i love the sound. Floor it and all hell breaks loose and then let up and you have the backflow sound still going.
