that said turbo lag is increased with downpipes. Is this true? I've heard from other people that their turbos spool faster with downpipes.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/569198.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/569198.phtml</a</li></ul>

Just get the downpipes and make sure you use

header wrap to keep the pipes hot. It's a good idea to wrap the manifolds as well.

Your chipped S4 should have enough torque to keep ya happy on the low end.
