Yes, Supersprint headers + 3" single custom catback. Still fine tuning the exhaust but it's nearly done. Will get to test it out first weekend of May at Watkins Glen. I'll be sure to record & upload some videos afterwards but I can tell you it sounds ridiculous just starting her up lol.

Anyone tuning your car? Have you dyno it yet? I can't wait to hear it.

I have the AA off road tune, not doing any custom tuning as I doubt there's anyone better than AA's off the shelf catless tune. I never did a baseline so I don't see the point of doing a dyno now BUT I did offer to dyno against some n52 folks on 1addicts so at least there's some level of comparison.

Here a first cut of how the exhaust sounds but I've swapped resonators since then. I'll upload new clips after my track day in May. The exhaust now has far less rasp and a more consistent, yet aggressive tone.

Sounds sweet! What were the issues again with getting the SuperSprint headers to work? I remember you mentioning previously that it wasn't a direct bolt on.

Have fun on the honeymoon and congrats on the new kid and job! I know how that feels. A ton of stuff coming all at once can be stressful but it's rewarding.

It bolts onto manifold fine, but on the other end is just straight piping, no flanges to bolt up to existing exhaust piping. That's why I held off so long. See below:



Your only option is to have an exhaust shop make a custom adapter which shouldn't be too hard or buy their (Supersprint) mid pipes which are even more expensive than their headers.

Thanks bud, life's coming at me fast but never been so excited. Headers was a close 2nd though!

Picked up the car today, exhaust sounds great. Here's how it sounds now with the new resonator. There's still a loud crack at the top end lol.
