Yeah if the extra $200 means they deploy quicker then fair enough. It just seems that they’re backlogged due to supply chain issues and it would just suck really bad if someone has to pay $200 more, get put in the back of the queue, and have to wait 2-3 months for a mid pipe. It’s effectively subsidizing the labor for those still waiting for their mid $200 cheaper mid pipe if that were the case

1) Demand is high 2) Cost of materials has increased. If you've not paid attention, the cost of raw materials has really increased along with the specter of significant inflation in view (see cost of houses, lumber prices, food prices, bond markets). I personally think its a mix of the 2. |

Sometimes I really just wish I got a single AA midpipe and could've had it within days. But oh well. Still waiting since February.

If anyone is looking for the non-resonated section of AA EL pipes (not the entire midpipe), PM me. I have a set for sale as I recently switched to the resonated pipes.
Located in the LA area. |

question for anyone with any EL setup--how do the downshifts sound? are they more aggressive? stock ZCP downshifts sometimes sound like a weak, half-assed bark from my dog, its kinda sad.

It's pretty bad ass. EL transforms the car into what I wanted it to be. It can wear a tuxedo and push the button and it puts the wife beater on.

In terms of tone, any shift that lands below 3k has a slightly different tone than stock but most people probably won’t give it much thought. Still if you like traditional I6 then even below 3k it sounds more I6 than before. Really downshifting above 3k is where the magic happens - it’s a very clear difference and it makes you want to down shift in that range. I’ve hit a couple downshifts to 5.5/6k at speed and it’s freaking glorious

Here's a quick flyby video from stop > 2nd gear I just grabbed on the way home. It was a cul de sac so I couldn't really smash it...
Also I'm running 60% boost reduction in 1st and 2nd (Vargas Turbo with full bolt-ons and a Stage 2 tune). It has no traction. Ever. Even with 305x30x20 PS4s...I refuse to drive around on 18" drag radials. Last edited by slaughter.mode; 04-04-2021 at 01:16 PM.. |

So I'm still running the stock primary cats but don't have the secondary cats & resonator. Yeah there are some pops & bangs here and there even though I don't have any burbles. This is probably the result of some random natural fuel overrun. It's never multiple pops in sequence like a burble tune - they're completely isolated and random. I have DCT and the shifts themselves sound much more pronounced at low speeds w/ valves open, in S2/3 it sounds like a clutch pack clamping rather than slipping or planetary clutches

I have the BM3 burbles set to off or OEM (I forget) and it still pops and bangs in the low gears and gunshot cracks with the non resonated mid when getting into boost and letting off which actually sounds cool according to people.

I'm surprised there aren't any other EL mid pipe options yet! With AA increasing the price and delays I feel like there's good opportunity for some competition. Trying to hold out to see what else hits the market but sound clips are sounding good!

The price increase applies to all manufacturers due to material/shipping/taxes cost going up.

Here's a quick blip of the exhaust sound while using the BM3 antilag feature...I didn't punch it longer because I saw a 50.
