FK exhaust.....

[Aleks]

So, now shopping for exhaust, QMR motorsports has an awesome GB on 42DD products (I paid waaaayyyy to much for my pod and guage!!), and they have FK stainless Catback exhaust, or magnaflow cat back, both are 450CDN, I haven't heard much about FK exhaust, any opinions?? or is 2.25" too small for a turbo?

I havent heard anything abuot the FK exhaust system, but talk to Qua, he has one that he got from C1. And 2.25" seems to be perfect on stock boost levels for the 1.8t, if you look at Geoff's car (Khyron), he got awesome gains on an otherwise stock car. However, I think if you're getting chipped, 2.5" is the way to go.

Re: FK exhaust.....

get a magnaflow if its that cheap man

Re: FK exhaust.....

I'd get a nice "race" downpipe and then a good looking, reasonable-gains cat-back that you **know will fit perfectly**.

Re: FK exhaust.....

In other words not TT?? I looked up a ton of reviews, and listened to a ton of clips, I want it to be nice sounding, not ricey, or droning....I really like Ryans Brullen sound, but I think cost is a huge factor there....APR sounded fantastic!! Magnaflow was also great, just waffling the 2.25 vs 2.5 issue

A buddy of mine in manitoba has the full TT and his fit perfectly, perhaps Kris' was an isolated situation.

Well, I had C1 install it, so ask them what happened. I went back like 3 times so they should remember

When I looked at it, it seemed as though it did not fit. Thats what Calgary Muffler told me too :(

It is a good performing exhaust, if it had been made to fit when installed, I would be happy with it. Its loud, but in my opinion, fast is loud, quiet is slow.

Re: FK exhaust.....

I got a 2.5" FK catback GOLF version mated to my 2.5" Brullen downpipe. Its nice and quiet but when you want the noise to come out ..... WATCH OUT. I also have fitment issues because the pipes are sticking out and bouncing around. Noticable performance increase.

Re: FK exhaust.....

speaking of which hey alex if you want to wait until this summer for an exhaust i'll probably let you brullen go.. i want to switch to like APR i think.. so if your interested like 300 bucks for the setup.... but C1 needs to get APR or maybe RPI carries them now ..

Re: FK exhaust.....

Yeah for sure Ryan....I'm game for that! Don't want to spend for the APR, otherwise I would too.....what size is yours?
