My GTI has a TB 3" exhaust and I've grown to hate the hell out of it.
I'd love to mod a EVO X. But the ONLY thing that is holding me back is the fact that on turbo cars you almost have to do something to the exhaust.
MY QUESTION: Are dump tubes a good solution? Can the factory ECU handle the quick changes and not run lean/rich/crappy?
what other options are there?
I want to play it safe too, because when someone gets a new exhaust they'll post a review and say "oh it's so great, it's not that loud and barely any drone."
Ya, I would say the exact same thing about my 3" exhaust the first few weeks I had it too. But once you get tired of it it's volume seems to double every time you get in the car.
If someone can please give me an accurate reason as to why perhaps the EVO X won't have a drone, or if there is actually an exhaust that is tuned like a factory exhaust but with higher flow please let me know
Goals of modding would be to put 20k into it all and shoot for a safe and responsive 450hp. So touching the exhaust is going to be inevitable, if i chose to start digging for power.
