Questions to owners of Vanguard V2 + catless downpipes

if you have this setup...

1) is there rasp with this setup? if so, how bad is it?

2) how much louder than stock is this setup? cold starts? warm idle?

3) do the cyba/dimisa quad tips work with this setup or is the piping diameter completely different?

thanks

1) A little. But I think the brraaaaaah drowns out the rasp. I like my cars a little raspy though.

2) It's a lot louder. Not all that much at idle and cruising... but if you put your foot down

3) Never tried them. Look at the diameter. An exhaust shop should have no trouble fabbing something for you.

It's got some rasp at WOT, but there aren't many true catback/cat less DP set up's that sound better on a 335. I heard the hks is slightly quieter with less wrasp.

The set up is very loud on cold start up but it's the price you pay for fbo. Cruising, the car sounds great and is only loud if you step on it. I don't have much, if any drone, but I have a 6mt so it will be different in a auto.

- On could start up I have a loud rasp until the RPMs go down.

- Louder than sock that's for sure. Going WOT gives you the best sound IMO.

- I'm actually getting Ti tips put on this Friday. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have an N55 so take what I say with a grain of salt..

1. Not really. It's deep.

2. Maybe 60% louder than stock. Cold start it is LOUD and your neighbors will def hear it. Warm idle is not bad at all. Has a nice aggressive purr.

3. Not sure. Tips on the Vanguards are perfect imo.

thanks for the videos.. in regards to loudness, I want it as loud as possible with as little rasp as possible and I'm thinking this is the ideal setup
