Fi catback exhaust and secondary downpipes

X5msurrey · 09-07-2022, 05:14 PM

Recently got my fi exhaust installed and what a difference it made compared to stock. Loud pops on every up shift when full throttle and can he turbo spool during low speeds. Exhaust is extremely quiet when valves closed so no drone at all.

Install took about 6 hours and fitment was great. Would highly recommend over stock!

Congrats! I love mine after one full year. Little to no corrosion after one winter in the northeast as well. I know why you did it, probably ($$$), but I recommend getting your exhaust tips powder coated or painted with a high temp paint. However, the more I stare at it, the more I like the POP! I got the carbon surrounds and I like them, but they have still polished SS on the inside.

Overall..........EPIC!!!!

In the exhaust picture what are the two separate exhaust sections? did you install them? I'm pretty sure those are the 2ndary cats? I don't see them removed in the full exhaust picture

To me it looks like he has the full catback and then catless primaries and secondaries...

Right the kit you can get with catless secondaries (which is not monitored on the USA Vehicles) Which I'm trying to determine what set of pipes they are in the pic.

Got it. I think the secondaries are the ones furthest from the tips in the pic.
