downpipes and catback? I like quiet cars, but like power too. On a similar note, would anybody be interested in trading piggies/milltek for my labree/borla?

Default I dont think the K04 Turbos would do to well on Stock DP and Exhaust, probably would eventually kill

them. IF your looking for a quieter solution go with AWE DP with cats and Milltek 3" Cat back its pretty quiet, I have that setup but am running test pipes so its a decent amount louder. The Milltek is probably the quiestest aftermarket exhaust but has a nice note when you really step on it, under normal cruising is almost stock noise levels

Default Piggies + Milltek 3" single is a nice quiet combo. That's what I have.

No, I don't want to trade. ;p

Default I have piggies I'd be willing to give you in a second (+cash) for your labree's. Does anyone know

how labree's sound with ASP trudual? I was going to wait and get ASP dp's because of deep bassy and raspy tone that people have with ASP catback and dp's, but I'd be definately willing to purchase a set of labree's. Just wondering my car will sound a lot different with labree's/trudual, than with ASP dp's and trudual.

By the way, I'm 3-, so I've been running piggies and K04's no problem--just too quiet for me

Default Don't get too happy yet...

If My2ndS4 has the LaBree DP's with the LaBree/Borla cat-back system, the DPs will not connect to the ASP tru-dual. We make special conectors for the Borla & Milltek Single 3" systems. All other systems get different pipes that are smaller in diameter & shaped differently.
