Tundowns...anyone....
Anyone ever installed a set of turndowns right after their X-pipe and got rid of their mufflers. Thinking about some that pointed down right before the axle.
Is it possible...anyone ever do this ? ?
Thanks

I have seen a few differnet variations of what you're asking, including a set just after the axle shafts and before the mufflers. I've also seen custom straoght pipes that went straight out the back with a set of turndowns. Here's my set up. Mu mufflers are still intact though.

, Patches is your car an A4? If so do you have a write up for this.

Mine's an M6 but Xtrooper has an A4 with the same cutouts. I believe his are further back. I've seen a couple of other A4's with them as well.
My website shows when I put in the McCords but I've since switched to the QTEC's for their higher quality. Check out the videos near the end.
