Not at all Duane. Just unbolt the mufflers and they slap straight on to the back of the cats. Probably 25minute job if you have access to a lift. I strongly recommend you give them a try... They are very loud thou, so watch out. As long as you don't get on it around town or around cops you'll be fine. I've learned to drive calmly around town to avoid being a target

It's kind of funny hearing my turbos spool down... Almost sounds like a cop in the distance

My fabspeed= loud raspy and suits ma' ghetto-stylismo.

Your Euros are classy, stealthy and MUSIC at WOT. Also we know if you use them they make loadsa power I was skeptical having never heard them, thinking it was just a exhaust du jour but having heard them in the flesh, I'd say for daily driving you probably couldn't ask for more. They really do not have any resonance... The only other one sans resonance is the Ruf but that's a little too quiet for my liking. Makes good power also though I hear.

PS We need Stephen to come out with those results. I also know that David (VA) makes some killer stuff at www.turbo-exhaust.com. Stephen said his made really good power...

I don't care about the other drivers j/k, but hey what are ya gunna do....

I have been working on getting a Turbo for about a month now with no such luck. I have found a few good cars, but for some reason or another they just haven't worked out. My dad is a firm believer that if its not ment to be its not ment to be, so we will continue looking. I really want the GT2 his dealership just took in, but I know I couldn't handle that car . Well I am still looking for the right car, if anyone knows of any nice Yellow/Black TT's for sale lemme know.

Will keep my eye open. No doubt the GT2 is a fantastic car but as a daily driver I'll have my AWD and PSM thanx Plus you mod the heck out of a TT anyways....

Speaking of exhaust systems without resonance, what about the Fabspeed "quiet" version? Does it have the low RPM resonance?

Thanks in advance.

Admittedly I know when I start asking questions about the "quiet" version and resonance, I must be getting old.

IMHO, the Fabspeed exhaust is WAYYYYY to loud. In contrast, the Ruf exhaust has a beautiful pitch that is just slightly louder than stock. My vote goes to the Ruf, particularly if, like me, you want a lower profile sound.

Of note, my wife thinks my Ruf exhaust is too loud -- she claims to hear me comng from a block away. She would divorce me if I got the Fabspeed.
