Will the car run properly with stock tune and downpipes?


Sent from my iPhone

Yes but will get a CEL after about 20 miles or so atleast mine did before i revised my tune. The CEL will not harm ur car tho.

I would imagine off road pipes like you have would throw a code for sure. I'm guessing torrie turns off the after cat O2's

Sorry, catted pipes, off road pipes all throw codes.

Ceramic coated they look nice

Yep... Love the ceramic appearance.... Here's my PPE DPs installed...


And almost anything is an improvement over stock... Here's what came off..


It's easy to see why the flow is improved... Compare stock to my uninstalled DPs...

I went black with black... If I had ingot silver I'd likely have silver ones.... Still great looking  :beer2:

Objects of envy ... esp. for us Edge folks   Now that we have a 2.0 AND a 2.7 TT offering, maybe the market will take note!

My question is... Why are these things so damn expensive? It's just 2 pipes with a couple bends in them... 1k for downpipes from ppe? Really?? 100$ per hp.. Prob cost 250$ to make these..

Might have something to do with the expensive efficient catalytic converters that don't throw any codes.....

Research and development costs.....

Overhead including shop, tools, employees available to engineer the product from a thought to a working product.

I think I will do catted, just because of the hassle of inspection and the stink of un burnt fuel. Did you do a before and after at the track?

Just an FYI - I have been running the un-catted PPE version with a Livernois 4+ tune for almost a year and there is NO "un burnt fuel smell" - none, nada, nothing. Once the grease burnt off the new pipes you could not tell anything had changed via smell OR tailpipe output.....

What about inspection? Do you have emissions ?

I agree, the ceramic coating definitely is a nice touch!  Looks great and will hold up longer to our harsh Michigan weather / roads.

We are not saddled with emissions testing here so cannot comment on that. Only difference was the improvement of performance

And it will stay that way as long as your 3rd cat is in place.
