Audi R8 reps. 18x8 et45 in gunmetal finish.
On Thursday I drove him up to Canuckistan and left him in the capable hands of Marcel and the rest of the team at HPA Motorsports. They asked if I would let them borrow him for a few days for product fitment testing and development.
At this point I know I am coming home with a 3" downpipe with high flow cat, intake, and maybe a few other goodies. Pics to follow as HPA sends them to me.
Thanks! I'm not cool enough on the 'Vortex for a build thread but people here are nicer.
It's definitely not a show queen, but I'm putting in a lot of work. My mods just tend not to show.
So HPA sent me some pr0n tonight. Their golf R downpipe is complete and on my car. Now to just wait till Wednesday to go pick it up. Here are some pics. First one is their downpipe (right) next to the stock one (left) and the second one is the new downpipe on the car. I'll post sound clips when I get the R home.
I actually just got back from DJing in Detroit this weekend and work tomorrow and Tuesday night so I am driving up to pick up my R on Wednesday. So, with that being said, I don't know what it sounds like yet. I'm sure it has a bit more growl as there is no resonator but I am sticking with the stock exhaust.
I am going to go get flashed to stage 2 on Thursday. I'm trying to make the decision right now whether to move to the HPA tune or not. Because I am one of their development cars I am probably going to...
