hey can we get some more videos of this, onboard, drone and different cruising rpm. beautiful work btw clean clean catted setup, thinking about doing this exact setup on my dsg so would love to hear cruising around at low rpm (1800-2500 as well as 2k-3k mild and moderate accel) keep up the content thanks!!!
First, sound awesome! Next...Emissions question - if you have test pipes - how are you avoiding CEL (besides disabling lambda senors) to pass state inspection? (DP, stock cats in Massachusetts - worry cats will go eventually … )
@@BlacklistBuilds Many thanks... IF\when cats go - I'm going to try a setup like this one - high flow cats further down stream to avoid the issue again just emissions are the only worry.
Great video, where are you guys located? I would love to have my exhaust done but you guys once I get the car you seem so knowledgeable about the exhaust in general and the fail points. I would like to do it right the first time and have the car performance best have great sound without interior drone
So you got the cats down bellow what did you do with th O2 senzor and does the highflow cats pass emision test i know they do if they are at optimal heat thanks and keep up the good work
I wanted to put Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonators just past my gutted cats but your guy said the flex wouldn't support that weight (5 lbs each). Do you know if it would be possible to install them up there with any kind of extra support/braces so they won't pull apart the flex? Seen or think of anything like that?
I have a 2016 SQ5. I was running stock headers, Redstar Cats, stock downpipes and AWE Touring Catback. The exhaust note was a 10/10. Perfect. But for fear of melting the cats at Stage 2+, I opted for Redstar long tube headers instead of just test pipes which replaces the stock headers and cat pipes. Now I’m trying to find the perfect balance in exhaust note. I tried IE downpipes with cats and mini resonators welded in paired with my AWE touring and the rasp and drone were too much. So I swapped back on my stock downpipe and welded cats into those but it’s too smooth and higher pitch than with the stock headers and Redstar cats. I’m torn with trying your downpipe setup or Vibrant Ultra-Quiet resonators and cats. How do the HP-2’s compare to the Ultra-Quiets?
Still can’t decide between the manual and the dsg, I want a manual cause of him much more engaging it is bet I want the dsg for how absurd the 0-60 is. How do you like ur manual and what 0-60 times are u pulling?
Besides a spirted drive once in a while, I don't care so much for 0-60 or racing in general. However, I still haven't sold the car even after 12 years because of the manual experience.
@@BlacklistBuilds I'm on the magnaflow as well. did you see what happened when it blew out? Did the sound change dramatically? any negative impact to continue running it?
@@BlacklistBuilds Thanks so much man. I am following the exact same route. I'll point people to your video if they ever ask. I have a resonated Milltek exhaust on my SQ5 (ultra charged, test-piped...you know the schlep) and it blows the packing glass out of BOTH mufflers and does nothing to prevent the insane rasp that the testpipes introduce. This setup that you've come across, I believe is THE way to go. Kudos dude!
Yeah I have CTS Turbo Test Pipes on my B8. However, what I'm saying here is that a Test Pipe is not the same as aftermarket cats and this video targets the perfect build for test pipes, when your car doesn't have test pipes.@@BlacklistBuilds
Ignore my dumb ass man. I think I only heard your comment at 1:45. Where you say "you were running catless before and you wanted die" so I figured you weren't using test pipes anymore. I'm in the same boat as you, but just test pipes and oem rear mufflers basically. Quiet as but raspy af, I don't mind it too much as it just sounds like all motor / supercharger whine.@@BlacklistBuilds
