Haha! Some friends and I rented a airstrip today for some fun and games :-)

Is sweden pretty much open as far as the Covid is concerned? I'd like to visit soon but I can't get any info.

Great sounding exhaust solution!

Catless downpipes with 2nd cat delete, Vibrant performance 12" Resonators and then the U-bend behind the resonators and a connection pipe just before the stock rear silencer.
Could possibly get a cleaner tone if I installed the 2nd cats again.
Anyway, here is a link to my Insta where you can see it.

Ahh I misss Sweden. So envious of the open roads there.

I thought Sweden never quarantined and was more about herd immunity?

Yes that's true.
Although right now, that plan is going down the shitter with many, many more deaths compared to our neighbour countries who have a more serious lockdown...

The problem is getting back from Sweden, about every EU member will insist on a 2 weeks quarantine. Just to be sure.

Your exhaust sounds nice by the way

Here's my car first drive after installing Top Gear Motorworks exhaust. Its hard to stop smiling when driving now. The mic failed a little while passing but I'll have some more videos.

I guess the microphone couldn't handle the aural explosion That sound as the car approaches is nuts.

That sounds amazing. I can't help but snicker at the fact that the last 5 years people actually thought they had decent sounding exhaust setups (including me and my AA Mid / Dinan Rear).

The single biggest flaw on this car that everyone ragged on is now on is now correctable.

It would be nice to get in a pre order

At the very least, anyone waiting for AA should be happy with the fact that they're not rushing to take people's money before they have a finished product to sell. I for one applaud them for respecting customers' money and being honest and having the integrity to be patient until proper photos and sound clips of the product are available before selling it. It's no secret how excited everyone is for their release. I'm sure they're working as fast as they can.

Some companies know how to do it right, others don’t

Definitely!

I'm assuming it's due to spending the time to create something substantial that can't be patented. Its an attempt to capitalize on that work before someone just copies it and brings it to market sooner... maybe a bigger company with more resources to scale these better. Regardless, hopefully this will result in lower prices for an exhaust.

What is the best after differential? H pipe or U pipe?

Those are meant for 2 completely different things, they work in conjunction with each other, not separately from one or the other.

H pipe is a merge method once length is equalized. You can also choose an X pipe, single pipe, or a muffler with 2 entrances, or whatever method you want to merge the 2 sizes.

U pipe is to extend the length of the shorter side before merging into the H pipe or other method.

I know U is used before to extend the lenght of shorter one, i mean instead of H pipe someone bented a little the H pipe and someone merged with straight pipe. You understand what i mean? And tomorrow i will do that to my exhaust and i want to know if someone know whats the best method.

Does anyone know if there has been any update on the companies offering midpipe options? At this stage I'm tempted to just go for the VRSF single midpipe

It shouldn't matter too much to be honest, whichever your shop is willing to do.
