I really like how it sounds with the stock exhaust. Just a bit lower, with a touch of turbo whoosh and whistle. An aftermarket exhaust will make it sound meaner, but from what I read, it doesn't add any significant power. The stock exhaust isn't really restrictive in the first place.

Yeah the stock cat back will flow enough for what I want. I may in future get a custom 2.5" system for a tiny bit more noise.

not true, I've changed to a Milltek non res race which adds very noticeable gas reaction time, maybe touch faster spool time and you feel in 1st and 2nd gear that its allows gas to escape quicker, its hard to describe but i did not expect such a difference.

These downpipes are great with a tune , as the engine accelerates they allow the turbo to keep accelerating , unlike the OEM cat which diminishes turbo acceleration as engine accelerates hence a drop in power in the higher rpm's.

Did not expect to see WHOOSH brand in australia, that's pretty cool.

Shipping is way better from the U.S to Australia than the U.K. It works out cheaper all round. More Whoosh to come hopefully 👍.

How did you remove the header heat shield

@fordyford

Honestly I can't remember. I think it's just a few bolts. Taking the cowell off and moving the header tank over gave a hell of a lot more room to move.

looks good for sure,,coating is something different, noticed it does not have the support screws like the milltek? apart from that nice piece of kit

@fordyford

Thanks. The standard heatshield is mouled to the standard downpipe so doesn't fit, hence the thermal coating. The manifold heat shield, firewall and exhaust tunnel heat shields remain in place. No support screws.

Currently have the intake and crossover pipes from ITG, is it possible to have the stock exhaust and fit in the sports cat? Personally likely to go with Miltek, but not sure if it’s a direct swap out with existing stock cat or not!

Hi great video. Is the reducer needed? I’ve just had a sports cat fitted and stage 2 software but the garage didn’t put a reducer in and I have a smaller diameter cat back. Thanks

@fordyford

Hi and thank you. It depends really. The answer is probably not. Especially if it's a Milltek which is 2.75" anyway so only a bit smaller. At the time, I had a standard cat back exhaust so for the small cost of the reducer I put it on.

All I need hardware wise for stage 2 is the sport cat downpipe (was looking at mountune). Are you going to stick with Mountune (MR230) for the stage 2 remap?

Not a lot. It doesn't affect how the car drives, it's just a required warning for emissions purposes. A suitable remap can eliminate it.
