Can you pm me the price for the springs please? Shipped to 95133. Seems like the drop is the same as the eibach which are at 40mm/1.5"
Exhausts will connect to the downpipe - they are separate pieces.

Exhausts will usually do nothing for performance, mainly just sound.
Yup and I care more about the sound but maybe a combination of a downpipe with a Perf exhaust down the line may be a great idea too!

Having said that, what gains are you seeing and did you notice the car getting louder? Any drone in the cabin? Do you think a stage one or similar engine enhancement chip is also needed along with the downpipe to get a true feel of the increase in the power when the turbo kicks in?
