Downpipe effects
ok so for the thousandth time, heres another dumb one. im either getting my downpipe or tune this week and i want to know if the downpipe will change my sound at all, i want to avoid any kind of fartcan-esque or civic sound. its like nails on a chalkboard to me for some reason. also with my hahn intake and downpipe i could probly be looking at near 300whp AFTER my trifecta tune i think right? probly the same torque..? or with just the intake and tune i wonder how much? i guess? anyone? thanks for the help with all my noob questions..

well after you first put it on, and the first drive you do with it on, you will notice a difference in spool time and power increase, and a new exhaust note. after the first 12 hours, your car will figure whats up and adjust boost level to match the air flow rates on the stock tune. I saw an increase of 1 psi after getting the dp on. then it dropped a full psi from what it was stock to correct, lol.
your almost in the area, if you wanna hear what a catted dp on a stock exhaust sounds like we can meet somewhere.

I had one behind me at a redlight yesterday he did not notice. Even if he did my car has the shell of a cat and has no DTCs so visually it looks legal (we have no emissions testing in Florida)

they're easy as crap to swap out though. Literally takes 20 minutes. I plan on swapping my catless for the catted come inspection time. Just do it 2-3 days in advance to get rid of my "not ready" codes and then swapping right back.
