and I mean that literally.
Installed this myself, and with a resonator delete, the pops and bangs are there.
The cerakote finish is the cherry on top and made this purchase better since the Bronze finish matches my wheels, however, the DP stays protected by the heat shield so you cannot see the finish well.
This mod will make you love your 1.5t again and make the driving experience more enjoyable especially if you drive stick and/ or have a tune.
This is also the first time I’ve installed a downpipe, please beware that the dp connection to your front pipe uses m10 1.5 bolts AND NOT the OEM m10 1.25 bolts. Had a pickle learning this the hard way, thank god a m10 1.5 tap fixed the issue I created, also note TSP provides Allen key bolts and not regular hex head bolts.
Jeers on the product team for not explaining this better in the description, this is my contribution where they lacked explanation.
