Default Be Honest: Who here regrets installing DPs? Seems like a quarter...

of the people who've gone with DPs have encountered at the very least a CEL. Others more serious problems such as bad cats. I bought a B6 so I could run a big, loud fullback, but having second thoughts on the DPs. To me, the risk/reward, not to mention the $1500+install, doesn't make it worthwhile.

Default Look at it this way - if you dont do it then you will always be itching to do it later

Power is addictive even just a little bit. If you are anything like me - mods dont stop until you cant do anymore. Careful though if you like that "refined" exhaust sound you are looking for. Certain DP's can really open up the exhaust. On my exhaust it really isnt the Magnaflow that makes that obstrusive muscle car sound - it is more of the APR downpipes...

No regrets here. Never had a CEL or any other problem, for that matter.
