Default Sport cats?!

I have IPE Ti catback... thinking about Fabspeed's 20 sport cats. Does any performance gains/sounds offset the cost etc...or would my money be better spent elsewhere??

Trying to refrain from buying an exhaust since my car won’t be here until September, but these look pretty nice: 200 cell HJS cats Inconel with heat protection

The Porsche tax on these is amazing. I bought a set of HJC 100 cell cats for m,y SQ8 with heat shielding for like $1100 on ebay. That alone changed the factory exhaust sound on the Audi to something that rivals my old 1978 6.6L Trans Am with roller lifters and long tubes.

Exactly my point regarding Porsche tax....I currently like how my car sounds but wouldn't mind a little more volume which sports car will do but so wood a valve controller

I recently installed a lightly used (around 800 miles) Soul Performance exhaust with 200 cell cats. Dramatic difference in sound and noticable performance gains.

Was able to get the exhaust and cats for $4k total. If you're patient, you can find some good deals in the marketplace or eBay.

When set on Sports mode, yes and it’s loud.
when set on normal mode, no once car is warmed up. Cruising in normal mode is not much louder than stock.

You're missing the metal O ring on the bac of the turbos BTW. I did this too. Just installed them yesterday.

General note, delete the cats altogether, sounds amazing!

I'll have to pull the original cats out of storage because I never saw these, must be stuck to those.

I do not have any exhaust leaks from what I can tell or rattles. Wouldn't take long to pull everything back apart now that I have all the clamp bolt heads pointing the right directions to get to them. I swear, about lost my $hit trying to get the clamps off the turbos
