Getting a tune, Cat delete and X pipe installed today!

Im very excited, I dropped my car off last night to get a tune, cat delete and X pipe installed. I really hope there is a big difference in sound and performance. Will these upgrades be something I can feel driving the car or only if the car was being dynoed?

You'll absolutely feel the difference as soon as you drive the car. Absolutely worth it.

I would really hope you would be able to feel a significant difference right away! If it were only evident doing a dyno no one would make these upgrades

I've gotten everything you said installed on my car except the x pipe. IMHO it's not worth the extra sound for a couple of horses. I have a cat delete and an acm exhaust mod paired with a bpm stage 2 tune and the car is a beast! Also my car doesn't drone.... Ever.

Best bang for buck mod IMO. Absolutely huge difference noticeable immediately. Car should come like this from factory, so damn good. You will have no regrets and be grinning like an idiot all the way home.

just removing the first set of restrictive cats you will 100% feel a difference in your seat...

i have no tune and stock x-pipe and put the Macht Schnell test pipes in with AE performance exhaust and instantly made me smile... you will feel it on your butt dyno
