    I have a folder at home of about 10 different custom setups. I'll share later but won't be able to give credit or details.

    Has anybody run an electric cutout with the stock exhaust? I plan on doing this after I get my 42dd race dp.

    The system is a full 3" turbo back with 2 straight through mufflers.
    Pipewerx make most of their own stuff in house.

    Here is a sound clip of the electric cutout activated then i close it towards the end of the vid..

    WoW!!!
    this is the best sound i have heard yet from a aftermarket exhaust on a TT. They are so hard to get it right. Most of them sound like a tractor

    I thought the best was "Eisenmann" but you beat it by miles
    awesome awesome sound dude!!

    do you have a link to where i can get one with the electric cutout? or i have to email Pipewerx?

    - 42 DD downpipe
    - 2 barrel type 3" resonators
    - straight through Magnaflow muffler
    - mandrel bends throughout
    - single driver side exit
    - 180 rear valence to cover the empty hole

    I wanted nothing but the highest possible flow, so no compromise, splits, restrictive chambered mufflers, crushes and unnecessary bends here.

    He also has the 3.2, which sounds dramatically different than the 1.8t.

    Ha, yeah. He's a cool guy. That place is killing' it.

  31. 06-01-2012 08:30 AM #31
    I don't think i've been over there since the Dyno day in the video...2009. it's been a while.
    it would cool if he did Unitronic tunes of course.

    I like the place, but the last two times I was there i ended up with things to fix afterwards.
    After the dyno day, my headlights went wachky, and i found that the sensor on the rear control arm was broken off...the dyno tie-down must have been on it cause the bar on the sensor was completely gone.
    I had an alignment and they ripped up my vinyl rim stripe. Not a biggy, but i just had an alignment last week somewhere else and they didn't damage the stripes at all. And I have red Alcantara on my steering wheel...they don't wash their hands or wear gloves when inside the car, so I end up having to clean the Alcantara afterwards too (which is not easy).
    Minor things I guess. Especially compared to GLC which scratched ALL of my wheels when putting on the tires....which is why I rock the vinyl rim stripe to cover the scratches.
    I guess I'm just a stickler about shops doing collateral damage. You accept that because it happens a lot, but it doesn't have to. That's why I gotta give it up to Nate Dog Creations who had my car for 3 months and took care of it like it was his own. He truly understands that these cars are our babies and should be treated as such.

    I'm in no way trying to trash R/T. I like the place and I'd give them my business in the future.

    I was really considering going over to R/T for the Cinco De Dyno Day...did you go?
