Hello everyone
My car is a Hatchback FK7 sport model with manual transmission. In a few days, I will order an Intercooler and already has the Ktuner V2 with 21PSI tune.
The next thing on my list is a DP/FP combo but I struggle to decide about the diameter and thus cant decide witch company to give my money.
After reading a lot of topics here and making a small R&D I understood these things and choose 2 companies to focus on them:
PRL: Has full 3" DP/FP combo. Has 300CEL catted option.
27WON: Has 3" DP and 2.5" FP combo. Has 200CEL catted option. Have a small gap in the OEM heat shield after installation.
Catted vs cattless: Still not decided but since I don't want it to be too raspy and loud I think I'll go with catted in the end.
Stock exhaust: 2". As for now, I don't plan to replace it. The only reason that can force me to change it will be too much noise after installing DP/FP combo.
The difference in price is almost none for the cattless and 100$ for the catted.
So now for the questions...
The simple one is - witch combo is better for my setup (FMIC and tune for now)? Not planning to upgrade the turbo in the near future for sure.
The deeper is - what consequences can be to making 3" combo ran into a bottleneck 2" stock exhaust? (it will answer the first one too I guess)
The hardest is - and I know its subjective for every ear - the sound I will get from DP/FP combo installation with the stock exhaust...Is it "rice" as **** or it something I will be able to live with?
Thanks to everyone who spent time reading this
Looking forward for your replies
Sincerely
