    Techtonics DP

    Looks like a second player is delving into the 4mo Tig downpipe market;

    http://www.techtonicstuning.com/main...oducts_id=1771

    First run to be available mid June according to reports. I notice its 2.5", the APR is 3" I think?

    Be interesting to hear some comparisons between the 2.

    Nice to see some other companies jumping on board.

    Good to see they are jumpin on board.

    The APR one is 3" witha single high flow cat.
    The TT one is a 2.5" with 2 cat's (required for the newer models apparently.)

    Not sure if you can run an off the shelf tune with the TT one (due to it's smaller diameter) or how much of a difference it will make as the stock piping is 2.5" anyway from memory.

    Agree with team_v .... stock is 2.5" already, so no real benefit in the TT one apart from the removal of the top VERY restrictive cat on the stock DP.

    I am however interested to see how TT's rear section goes as this is 1 are where the Tigs can get some improvement.

    1 of the biggest issues I have with the Tiguan's is that they sound rubbish .....

    I second this.
    Needs a good sound pipe that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

    Wonder if a gnarly back box would fix it? I would like different tips, the stock ones suck to clean.
