Going to have the Carbahn tune (actual unlock and tune and not the piggyback) done at a local dealer who is one of their partners. Also, want to have a high-flow downpipe installed so the tune can be optimized. Based on what I’ve seen here, AA seems to be a good choice. However, I thought I’d confirm with anyone who has experience, is a good choice or are there others I should consider?

Also, I have the MPE exhaust and wouldn’t mind a bit more sound but don’t want it to be obnoxious. Will a high-flow downpipe and this exhaust be extremely loud?

AA is top notch and from experience 100% stand behind their products.

You are sending your DME to FEMTO ?

AA really is the best overall high flow catted downpipe for us. And most unlikely to throw a code.

Your car will be a bit louder. The major issue our cars have with the downpipe and cattback combo is drone. So that might be an issue

Correct, well technically the dealer is sending the DME to FEMTO, then once back, installing the Carbhan tune.

The word "highflow" can be abused/misused. If you want true highflow, look for a downpipe that is 200 cell (I believe the AA that guarantees no CEL is 400 cell).

I dont know of any 200 cell downpipe that wont throw a code. If being custom tuned, the tuner can shut the CEL off.

I have that exact combo and now that I also did XHP, even sounds more amazing.

Would do it again. With flap closed (OEM control) in comfort, quiet on highway like stock(wife mode).
