AA Downpipes + Fabspeed Supercup Exhaust + Velos Tune = Pure Greatness/ VIDEO ADDED

I just had my AA catless downpipes installed yesterday by Euro Autoworks who did a great job and I'm very happy with this setup. Before I put them on the exhaust sounded good but now it's vicious and sounds fantastic. Cold start is a little louder than just with the exhaust but definitely has a better tone. I also have the Velos Stage 2 + with downpipe so no CEL light. When you smash the pedal it's violent and with downshifts lots of pop and crackle . Accelerating even a little you can hear the turbo spool up which is wayyy cool. What I was so impressed about though is when just cruising it's not loud at all even in cabin with the windows down and has a real nice exhaust note so no regrets on doing this setup.

I haven't posted a video of my own on here so I will try to do soon. Due to file size with video I'm not sure what's the best way to post one. I would like to do some sitting at iddle and some with drive by or something.

This is my setup and going to get a video of driving soon I hope so you can really hear how good it sounds downshifting and going through the gears.
