Two days ago I took delivery of a Bull-X catted downpipe and a CTS Turbo intake.
Bull-X downpipe
Emmanele Designs shipped this pipe to me. Very responsive, great vendor. This is a gorgeous pipe. Everything looks very nicely machined and it is obvious lots of time was spent on development.
My one niggle with this pipe - the brackets that are welded to the pipe that mount to the underside of the car seem to be off by just the slightest bit. It was for sure not an install issue, as the pipe cannot be rotated due to the rigidity of the flex pipe and the mounting face of the turbo. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.
I'm at 250 miles on the pipe, and nary a P0420 to be found.
CTS Turbo Intake
You all know about this. No lengthy review needed here. I picked it up from ModdedEuros. The box had to be assembled, not a big deal. Works as advertised and I can finally hear the turbo!
Soundclips and Dyno
Ambient temp 63f. Gas 93 octane. 4th gear pulls. 277hp/329tq.
