Default My Spec LWFW *ducks* is very quiet.

I can't hear the chatter, even with the windows down, unless I'm next to a wall or something to reflect the noise.

Default I think so. The engine experiences less lag on the upswing,

flowing more exhaust, sooner...so I think it's possible. Don't know the actual physics behind it.

Default I'll certainly post it. I think the combination of an uprated hybrid disk

and a much stronger than stock PP will be nicer and stronger overall than a standard RS4 setup. We'll see! It has to be smoother with a more stock like engagement.

Default I'm running an Unorthodox Racing LWFW and love it. Chatter goes away after 2K...

and seriously....who drives these cars under 2K :-/

Default I wouldn't think it would affect lag directly...

but it would definitely affect how quickly the engine revs. The actual physics are a bit complicated, but when you remove weight from a rotating assembly, it has a greater effect than simply removing dead weight. In addition, since the weight in this case is removed before the transmission, it will have a significant effect in lower gears, particularly 1st + 2nd.

Default I think this is one of those personal opinion things like...

"Is <insert exhaust name> loud?"

Default Those that LOVE to lug their engine! I personally like to let the car do it's thing...

MOVE!
