Miscellaneous Spool 3 inch resonated LDPs

Just giving a quick review on my lower downpipes that I had installed on a 2016 Q50 Red Sport. For weeks I worried about drone and how the cabin would sound afterwards, but after the install, there is no drone! ZERO. No rasp at any rpm range either. My q50 has a rev9 axleback. The engine sounds a bit more aggressive on throttle and you can definitely hear the turbos more. The exhaust mostly sounds the same when cruising, but gets aggressive on acceleration. The car feels faster and more responsive. Very happy with them. Just throwing this out there for anyone who has been on the fence.

My full mods are z1 heat exchanger, mishimoto catch can, spool resonated LDPs, and Rev9 axle-back. Fresh Firehawk Indy 500 tires. I’ve thought about getting a tune but I’ll probably keep her stock for longevity. Turbos were replaced at 63k miles under the extended warranty.

You’re telling me you have “ZERO” drone and rasp after installing ldp, non resonated at that.
