Stromung Fitted

I finally received my Stromung back boxes on Friday. I ordered them direct from the US. With the exchange rate being quite strong at the moment it worked out very cost effective. Even the import charges were very reasonable and I didn't get charged as much as I was expecting so that was a bonus.

Anyway, fitting them was a complete and utter ballache. Every single bolt snapped apart from 2. One of the flanges on the mid pipe also snapped so it was a good job I already got hold of some Peugeot clamps before starting the swap. The flange on the passenger side is pretty much welded onto the mid-pipe which is a bugger as it could be done with being rotated a bit so I can bring the backbox slightly closer to the bumper. So with that in mind I have ordered 2 new flanges from a guy that machines them on M3 cutters. The design is pretty genius and means you don't have to cut, and then re weld the mid pipe.

Anyway, the sound. Pretty damn epic. On startup they are much more purposeful and deep. IMO they sound exactly how the car should have left the factory. A much deeper and muscular sound. Some great pops and bangs between gear changes as well which is nice. They look great and fill the rear bumper really well so that's another plus point.

Here are some pics for now I will update later with some videos.

Look fantastic and also looking forward to your vid.

Any of the dreaded drone around 20000rpm?

Sorry about the typo, 2,000 rpm obviously!
Pedantic sod!

I used to have these, and they are by far the best exhaust for an oem sound with some added attitude. No drone either. I have since added a set or rpi simply because I wanted a more aggressive note.
 
Here's a quick video I got today. Sounds nowhere as near as good on video as it does in person. Loads of pops and bangs which is nice. Should get better in time as it carbons up a bit.

Still no joy. If I right click it says "No Movie Loaded" and "About Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145..."

Any chance of a Youtube link?
 
It was myself who put Jamie onto Stromung after my experience, sounds epic in real life. Here's my brief video... with a Gruppe fitted.

If you listen carefully between 1st and 2nd gear coming down the hill you can hear the exhaust give a nice pop.
