Hey Josh I'm in the middle of installing these now. Nuts came off without issue and loosened bracket. How did you actually get the stock pipes out? The studs that are threaded into the stock pipes seem to have it locked in. Did you have e to cut the studs off? Seems like too my prying to get them to clear.

hello :) I have a 2023 gt2 with acat back borla exhaust and k&n cold air intakes. I was wondering if adding downpipes means that I now have to get car tuned and add the jb4 tune? and would the downpipes add more power that i would also need new spark plugs??
@joshgathings0073 ай бұрын
@uhhh_sam you can add the downpipes without adding the spark plugs. It's going to give you more power and torque, turbos will spool faster and the exhaust will get louder and more exciting - sounding. No tune required. Now if you want to run JB4 you would definitely want to upgrade your spark plugs first. JB4 gives you a great increase in power and torque, super fun, but you would need upgraded spark plugs first to handle the new power.

Sounds exact same. Waste of money. I have a G70 and there are literally no good exhaust systems out there. Hence why I'm watching exhaust videos for Stingers to get an idea of what sounds like what. There are not alot of videos of the G70 with aftermarket exhaust options for the new 2022 models. I'm honestly thinking about buying a Dinan axel back that BMW makes and retro fitting it to my car. Best sounding exhaust systems on the planet. Not too loud, give awesome burbles, and absolutely zero rasp or ricey sound. Had a M235i previously and that car sounded like heaven
@joshgathings00710 ай бұрын
Ya the stingers and G70s are quiet. Obviously in person you hear the sound differences and feel the power increase (faster turbo spooling). I'd have to search videos on the Dinan axel back. Think the loudest exhaust is still borla with downpipes installed, without going completely straight piped. Then you get all the annoying rasp and drone.
