Im finishing up on my a4 and am doing it with an exhaust system, i have a chip, intake, and Forge DV and im now at doing a whole new exhaust, test pipe and everything. My question is for those of you in a similiar mod situation how much of a difference did you see in you aspiration system as a whole when you had all this completed. Im not really talking horsepower i know that exhausts dont make much but im really talking smoothness in acceleration and and turbo spooling and does it change your PSI much?

 

i had an intake, chip, and dv when i installed my exhaust and tp. turbo spools up slightly faster, better lowend power, and seemed to smooth out the powerband. didn't have a change in psi. but the biggest difference was obviously the sound. i couldn't stop driving the car lol

 

did it effect your DV too?

and is that your car in the avatar? lol

 

u mean make it louder? not that i remember

and i wish lol the car she's washin is actually a vw but the way i cropped it, it makes it look like a b5 a4[8D]

 

what exhaust are you runnin chaos?

 

techtonics. its basically a 2.5" version of Borla

 

dirty tricks(like the kind ****** do for money) I have that stupid forge splt-r vavle and cannot figure out what the hell im supposed to do with it since you can tune the spring rate and stuff. I have put it all the way in and all the way loose and from what i can hear it doesnt effect to bypassing one bit!

 

niceee. im lookin to get myself an exhaust. you're happy with yours? and BTW, did you post a DIY on how you painted your rims? im thinkin about doing the same thing, just maybe graphite instead of black

 

lol yeah one of the guys from the forum who lives by me has the splitter, and it was a pain. you should definitely see psi differences when adjusting the spring tho. do you have a boost gauge?


and yeah im very happy with my exhaust. im going back home later today so i should have access to a camera again. so im gona be taking lots of pics and vids.

and here's the link for the DIY for the rims- https://www.audiforums.com/m_672863/tm.htm

 

thanks!
in regard to what you said about adjusting the spring in the DV, is that only for the split-r? or would i see PSI gains if i adjusted the spring in mine (forge 007) no chip so im at stock boost
