can someone post a video of cold start with this exhaust and some cat less downpipes? Im curious to know how much quieter it would be compared to a meisterschaft gts and cat less down pipe setup.

Our system with that setup will actually be louder since we do not use any mufflers.

That setup is going to be LOUD. The only thing muffling the engine will be the turbos.

I am not saying it will sound bad, but it will shake the garage for sure.

I just had my AA catless downpipes installed yesterday and I'm very happy with this setup so I will try to get a video posted soon. 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 had a better tone. When you smash the pedal the it's violent with lots of pop and crackle on downshifts. Accelerating even a little you can hear the turbo spool up and is wayyy cool. What I was so impressed about though is when 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.

Here is a video of a Fabspeed exhaust and catless downpipe equipped X5M being cold started in our shop:

Yes it is! While it is inside which pronounces the loudness, it's pretty loud. Sounds amazing though!

Yeah inside isn't a fair way to rate how loud it is cause the sound is bouncing off the walls so it's very amplified. I love how it sounds!! I was laid up for over a week but will try to get some Video clips up.
