Comments
This is definitely my favorite mod. The quality, fit and looks of the
exhaust are first-class. But then again, I wouldn't expect anything
less from an Italian tuner.
The exhaust is very quiet. The only time I notice it is when I start
the engine and when I put my foot down. When cruising, it's as quiet
as stock. There's a noticable improvement in throttle response. Feels
like the turbo is spinning up faster. Also, the Supersprint is about
20lbs. lighter than the stock system. The pipe diameter is same as stock
(2.25").
The Supersprint is not a full exhaust system. The stock cat, downpipe
and flex-joint stay. The stock system must be cut and the Supersprint
welded on just after the flex-joint.
I purchased the exhaust from RPI and had it installed by Westmount.
Technical Note
The exhaust flow in the 1.8T goes from turbo-to-cat-to-downpipe-to-flexjoint-to-resonator-to-muffer-to-tips.
