Catless DP's and Active Autowereke Tune 1 week analysis

The sounds and power is incredible. I love the sound of the turbos spooling every time I press the gas, its almost louder than the actual exhaust, sounds like im in a turbo diesel F350. I did notice on the low end it lags more im guessing because of the increase in boost. Haven't really noticed a change in MPG other than the fact that I've been flooring it from light to light. The guys at active did a great job as always. As far as power goes I don think anyone needs more than this even this is too much but still fun as hell! Tires can't grip at all any suggestions on a good tire for traction?

They fit nicely, and no rubbing on stock height, lowered I do not know because my car is not lowered. I picked the Nitto's over the R888R because Toyo did not have a nice tire for the front so I put Nitto 555G2 in 285/35/20 and those rubbed bad so i switched to 265/35/20 in the same tire. Now I have a bunch of tires sitting around that I need to sell

i recently picked up an m5, and was thinking of making that trip to active for the exact same setup. Hows the sound? Maybe we can meet up one day.

Do you lose low end hp or torque with downpipes?? Having a 17’ zl1 this m6 is already lacking low end for my taste.

Dp's, a good flash tune, and some E85 or 100oct mixed with 91 will get you to or over 700whp 680wtq.

yeah sure! The DPs just enhance the sound of the stock exhaust a little more. Its not crazy loud but it sounds good. And with the active tune you can hear the turbos spooling from a mile away, they sound great! I also wired my flaps open which also helped.
