Default After hell and back with incompetent shops, I installed the ASP TruDual myself and I LOVE IT!

Just took it for a 15 minute drive and as soon as it sweeps past 3k it just comes alive. I'm expecting it to change a little bit once it's broken in, but the fitment was absolutely phenomenal.

I put the whole thing on in one hour with a single floor jack (no lift, but I had open downpipes so it was a quicker than usual). Everything fit perfectly, there was just enough clearence like in the directions. The tips are centered perfectly. No rattling for the 15 minute drive I took, everything seems rock solid.

Would I recommend it? Hell yes!

On a sad note, i've been leaking oil :-( ...possible turbo, but we'll see. I checked the oil and it's getting low, so i'm not going to drive it until I put in a few quarts of 0w40 and get a full oil change.

Default Congrats! Nothing beats doing it yourself in terms of thoroughness and care. Swapping turbos is...

another matter, however. I would need more encouragement and guidance when it comes to the snails.

You'll love the sound once everything gels. Again, way to go!

Default Nice work! I put my twin2 in myself also, very easy DIY...just wait a few weeks

It will get louder

How's the fitment while the exhaust is hot? Mine would get right up next to the evap line by the spare wheel before i did some final adjustment but now it's perfect. Doesn't help that it's been unseasonably cold either (get about 1 1/2 inches of expansion between cold and a few wot runs)

Also, you really don't get the full feel for the exhaust note until you hear it from outside the car (but that means someone else has to drive). oh no
