Downpipe and catback soon to be made!?

Looks like heeltoeauto.com is about to do the downpipe and is taking over production of the ATLP catback.
Downpipe will delete 1 cat, might stink though.

Kaze, you have the ATLP catback, is it loud, does it improve performance?

It's not really loud( nothing like a N1 muff-can) a RESPECTable sound. The Start up is still porn to my ears!

Yes it does improve performance, very subtle, mostly shows on dynographs. I really noticed faster load bearing revs, kinda like a lightweight flywheel upgrade.YMMV!

6 Posting and you want to start selling down pipes to people?
No background information of who is building and what kind of material/tuning is done.

It rings a bell to me to saying thanks but no thanks.

Even with 1000 posting; I would trust/buy from Mr.Heeltoe any day.

They posted it in the RDX discussion forum, and I put the link in post # 1, but it did not underline it or anything to show it was a link.

wouldn't just gutting the cat of the downpipe yield similar performance results as buying a new one?

the catback is not going to be that much of a performance boost. maybe 1 hp but even that would be subjective. removing the cats is going to get you the gains you are looking for. you can gut out the second cat pretty easy, but the first one off the turbo will be a lil harder to dig out. if you are going to try gutting, just expect to be working at it most of the day. and wear a resperator.

Awesome! I guess I'll just get both! just let me know when they are done Don. I need a reducer 3-2.5 inch at the mid-pipe though.

Like to see what I'm getting first before I commit to buy post some photos!
