Supersprint header mated to stock rear section install. Lost a little mid-range power adding back the stock rear section from a basically straight-pipe setup, but the Supersprint gear is beautifully made. No more 02 CELs either!

Can do. Will snag a couple today or tomorrow and post up. It's a much "cleaner" sound than my old setup, which was very raspy, rally car-esque. Not anywhere near as loud, but that was part of my aim.

How does the top end feel with the long tubes?

Top end definitely feels strong. Can’t say stronger than the setup I had, but it’s raucous all the way to the top.

Cross-post here to where I originally started a thread seeking out my next exhaust setup. @Elliotw44 and @RAudi Driver There are sound clips here:

i don’t think it’s wool, but it’s definitely a pretty thick material. It’s also very soft, almost like a velour.

Very nice. Are these just the covers or the padding is included? How much for it?

I got the ones that are the covers with the padding, so the “install” literally took less than a minute. I highly recommend going this route. The cost varies with the fabric you choose and I believe ranges from 1200-1500.

After getting them I’d do it again in a heartbeat and pay even more tbh. The whole process from start to finish was just primo. Awesome communication, incredible packaging, a handwritten note, nice bags to put your old inserts into, etc. Also, like many things they look even better in person!

Huge fan of this upgrade, as it added quite a bit of compliance handling rougher pavement. On the track I run in sport PASM and don't have any issues with the controller.
