New Downpipe

I got a new xtc 2.5 dp put on i love the sound but i still a little bit raspy i guess that it needs a couple of days for the high flow cat to break in.
my setup now is dc sports header xtc dp and dc sports cat back

Meh, rasp is just par for the course on these cars. Can you feel a difference with the downpipe?

how's the xtc downpipe? and what made you go with the 2.5 instead of the 3, cause i see alot of people went with the 2.5, is it because of fit meant issues or just preference?

The 2.5" will keep the exhaust gas velocity up. We really don't even need to go that big with the 2.2 in its mostly stock configuration.

do you have a cat?

also IIRC the DC sport exhaust doesn't have a resonator...might want to fix that.
