Downpipe recommendation for professional

[badger91]

Hi all,

I currently run the AWE Switchpath and want to get a downpipe. With the flaps closed the only time it drones is over 80. I want to make it louder, but the issue comes in that I use my car for work and maybe 5-10 times a year carpool with my boss. She doesn’t seem to care but it’s something to consider. Any recommendations for what I should do? Also, I’ve heard mixed reviews on the difficulty of installation with the driveshaft....I have access to a lift so maybe it won’t be so bad? Any advice would be much appreciated!

If you think it drones now you’ll hate it with a downpipe.

There’s a solution, but it’s by no means a simple one for the R

It doesn’t bother me at all lol. I mean it’s ‘noticeable’ over 80. I just don’t want it to be super loud on the highway.

The solution is to add a Vibrant 17950 resonator, which is complicated on the R since both the downpipe and catback need to be modified to allow room along the driveshaft to do so.

Where are you located?

So going with the AWE Resonated wouldn’t render good results for me? Milwaukee

The speed at the MPH where it drones could change with a DP.

Why does it say Mexico in your profile?

No clue. Do any of you have this setup and know? I would assume many are running the AWE turbo back

Borrow another car when driving your boss. A GTI is a boy racer car with or without mods, no business cred. If I have to drive for business I swap with my wife

You mean that she goes on the business trip? ?

I changed it.. Regardless that’s irrelevant. I’m looking for advice, not to be hackled.
