My slow build B8.5 A5
I was on the audizine forums yet it seems to be slow on there. But heres what i have so far.
I would like to say im not doing anything crazy but it allows me to show and store the progress of what ive done so far together.
RS5 Style Grill.
Rear Diffuser Installed. Exhaust and other parts coming soon. But this is just small look goods.
Okay slow updates but this is just a side thing im doing as i can afford it. Not trying to break bank and make a show stopper but its a work in progress.
Went to Rogers Exhaust Shop in Fontana CA. These guys know their stuff and did great work. In and out in 3 hours and the price i paid was half of what other companies are charging for their exhaust and they made sure i was satisfied through and through with the work prior to leaving. They gave me the option of going Burnt Tip or Standard and i felt the silver looked better against the carbon and white paint.
I did from the downpipe back keeping the factory downpipe in place. If later i decide to upgrade that i will as i know its the most restrictive but for now i just wanted to fill in the gap on the diffuser. But they could do the downpipe and anything else needing to be fabricated. They have a full team of legit fabricators making things non stop there.
Tossed in the trash. IF you want it find oscar the grouch
The sound is actually really nice and i was skeptical about the exhaust on the 2.0 and it sounding like crap. The only thing is you can tell is missing a big ummmfff of power loss but im sure opening the downpipe and adding and intake would help.

That new exhaust is awesome looking. I am the same way about the exhaust on the 2.0 not wanting it to sound bad. I would like to swap my single exhaust dual tip out to a setup like you have.
What power loss are you speaking of?

I came from other platforms prior so my wording of power loss wasnt losing the power. But the feeling of not enough power.

Rear Gap. S-Line Suspension stock height.
Front Gap
So overall, The fitment is 20x10 +25 all around. The front is perfect fitment and i would personally suggest a +20 in the rear to make the rear as aggressive as the front fitment. The 275/30 tires are Toyo Proxes Plus 4. Which are great and the ride is smooth and quiet. It was hard for me to get a good answer from everyone as everyone wants something different or they want to be an engineer and tell you what to do to your car to keep the best factory style ride.
Later on ill do suspension and i thought about air ride but i feel thats too played out cookie cutter so ill stick to some coil overs. Ill keep it updated as i come along.
