[s-cars] Stromung, worth it?

[Scott Munger]

Well, the Stromung weighs about a 3rd grader less than the stock system...
and it sure
'looks' as if a ton more air could flow through the big 3" pipe.  At stock
boost levels though,
I don't think the stock exhaust is overly restrictive, my guess is the first
bottleneck would be the EM or something further up the chain.  You are
moving from dual cats w/stock to 1 cat with the SS,
but the DP on the SS is more streamlined than stock...

I don't think you go for an upgraded exhaust if you plan on remaining stock,
but start turning up the boost and adding RS2 goodies, I'd guess it's a
must.

I'm just thinking aloud, I would like some hard data too!

The stainless tips sure are purdy tho'
