I agree it does sound better but does the de cat send the test figures way out of spec?

Clip of my E89 N20 fitted with Supersprint decat system non resonated only having rear silencer. Best played over your tv for better sound quality.
Don’t take it the wrong way , and I appreciate that is more difficult but what we want to hear is the sound on the move, up through the revs, part throttle , full throttle..Overrun, downshift etc..

The rev ing whilst stationary reminds me of 16 year olds with Yamaha FS1Es..

It may be an age thing..

If I can borrow a Go Pro and fix it up at the rear I will put another clip up with the car on the move etc

:thumbsup:

What I like with the decat and retaining the rest of the exhaust system is that with the exhaust valve still working if you want to / need to you can drive nice and quietly whilst making adequate progress :driving:

Not sure with ‘more encouragement’ that the sound then becomes constant / more intrusive?

Peter, to be honest it is much quieter than I expected and you can drive nice and quietly. There is no droning in the cab and if anything the car sounds.much less tinnier than with the OEM system. If I can get a Go Pro then I can put a better sound clip up as the one I have done does not do it justice.

I think it’s a bit like ‘handling’ ..you got to be there / try it to see if it’s your bag...

I’m glad you are enjoying it..

Me..I’m saving my money for the ‘big turbo’ and new re-map :thumbsup:

Re maps

I’ve just had a call from a pal who’s got a sporty Audi A3 - (RS3? )
He’s had it remapped and a dyno - He says it’s showing 492 Bhp and 700Nm of torque.

Well it starts at 400 bhp and 480nm ..so eminently plausible for a blown engine that’s designed to make its numbers on 92 Ron fuel on a 38c day. :driving:

But Ron it’s only 2480cc so must be already worn out :rofl:

So 393 bhp is my new target on that basis.. :thumbsup:
