Replaced cracked and peeling emission and vacuum diagram stickers. Small detail that most probably wouldn't bother with but trying my best to keep a 75k mi car looking new.

Nice fix.

Where did you get the stickers?

Had the Unobtainium Welding 3" catless Ti exhaust installed! I feel like a 20 year old again in a loud car... but wow does it sound glorious at WOT...

I've had tons of exhausts on these cars. The Unobtainium 3" with anti drone pipes is hands down the absolute best. Sounds amazing with zero drone. It's the only exhaust I would run on my car, period..

I've learned to trust your judgment!

I'm interested in getting a system from them at some point. In your experience, does that Unobtainium exhaust also make the pronounced turbo whistle sounds? I'd love to be able to hear my turbo's more...

I have their system with the larger 5" 100cell HJS motorsport cats and also 3.5" cat bypass pipes I can swap in. You can hear the turbos whistle with both but it's more pronounced with the large bypass pipes. Unobtainium is the only one that uses 3.5" bypass pipes instead of the 3" that everyone else uses. The allows for a perfect match with the turbo housing without necking down.

I would highly recommend the quad exhaust pipes versus the larger ovals. In my opinion the quads will have even less drone. The expanding oval tips will have less desirable acoustic properties as they are shaped like a bullhorn.

Thank you, appreciate the input.

lots of whistling noises... very angry sounding too on throttle (not WOT). i'll make sure to take some vids in the coming days

compared to my previous exhuast (AWE), it's a completely different sounding car.. not muted at all.
