Default 2015 allroad Downpipe

Hello,

I just finished stage 1 and after 24hrs, I'm hooked. I need to move on to Stage 2 and with that downpipes come into factor. APR does not carry any 2015 downpipes as of yet...can anyone suggest another brand?

I would prefer quad if possible. As a newbie to the tuning world, I need all the help I can get.

Thank you!

"Once you go downpipe, forever will it control your destiny."

The obvious downside to downpipe is no longer being emissions compliant which is a problem in many states when it comes to inspection time (I won't comment on the obvious environmental issues).

Stage 1 is the initial entry into the world of performance tuning. Typically a freer flowing intake & exhaust and moderate ECU tune. Possibly also some suspension and braking upgrades.

So Mr. Burns, how's your modifications going so far? Stage 1 made a big jump in driving satisfaction ?

I'm also considering stage 2. Anyone find a suitable down pipe or test pipe?

I've been running an AWE downpipe now for a few years. No complaints...

My local euro specialist, Concours Motorsports, recommends AWE heavily. According to their VW and Audi specialist, it has the least fitment issues, is widely compatible with different cat backs, and obviously priced very competitively. They've had some APR protos and production models through for different cars and while (VERY) nice, in his opinion it's just not justified price-wise.
