Default Question for those with the VM3 exhaust...

I am looking to get rid of my Milltek SuperDual for a more aggressive exhaust. I am very interested in the VM3 because of its sound despite what I have heard about its fitment issues. I was wondering with the large dual 3" pipes if anyone has experienced a loss of lower end torque and an increase in turbo lag? Thanks for the help guys.

Default heh, it's not dual 3"... that would never fit...

it's dual 60mm pipes... 2.36"

All I notice is loud ;-)

But I like it.

Default Like he said,,, it's 2 x 2.36"

The VM3 i "loud" but I prefer the more muffled sound of 3" systems instead of dual systems with slimmer pipes.
You won't lose power/torque/spool-up time with larger pipes, unless it's size causes a major drops in the exhaust temp causing more unwanted pressure.

Default there could be fitment issues with any aftermarket exhausts

i have seen a miltek that fit like crap .. and my vm3 was not that bad at all .
turbo lag ?!?!"what'u talking 'bout willis".. the better flow after the turbo the better spoolup and power .. cat back alone does make a difference (+ hp) but not huge .. a turbo back system is very different.
