[s-cars] Stromung, worth it?

[Cody Payne]

I disagree..maybe my butt dyno is more "tuned" (Or is so far off I am fooling myself) but I noticed 2 things on my 92 UrS4...
-1) Turbo Spool to 18 PSI on turbo came about 300-400 RPM earlier..then stock exhaust based on Boost Gauge+Tach comparison (Where is my OBDII graphing?!)
-2) Car pulled up to red-line more easy due to the full 3" Turbo back increasing flow.
Granted the stock system is a dual system after the Downpipe...I suspect the increased flow w/ the Stromung is helped by the DP, high flow-cat and straight shot to the muffler (vs. the turns and angles of the stock)
-3) Sound alone is worth the price of admission..deep tone...I love it!
-4) 70 lbs less weight then stock

Anyways those are my experiences w/ my 92 UrS before and after install.  Can you spend your money in other places?  Of course you can...

Build the car from the ground up...my preferred order.
-1) Chip + Hoses + BPV
-2) EM to protect that 1st and 5th valve (Still on my to-do list)
-3) Suspension and Tires and Snub Mount
-4) Brakes
-5) RS2 or 7A Exhaust Cam
-6) Clutch (Higher Mileage Car)
-7) Exhaust
-8) Turbo RS2 or K26/T04E Hybrid
-9) Injectors and MAF and FPR
-10) FMIC
-11) Alum. FW

Anyways those are my 2 Cents...

I've driven a stock S4 w/Stromung turbo back, and the only difference
apparent to me was a lower tone at idle.  Butt-dyno was either not
calibrated that day, or very little performance difference.
I have MTM 1+ and RS2 EM.  BTDT's on performance gain per dollar spent?
Before/after dynos?
IMHO, it ain't $1000.00 worth o' purty.
