Adding to my almost-invisible mods, I got a Milltek exhaust installed yesterday at a shop near my office. Called them in the morning to see if the part had arrived (it had), and they said just come on down right then and they'd install it.

It now runs so nice at 4000 and above, I think I drove home in a gear lower than usual yesterday. Love the sound too.

Snapped a few pics with my phone.

Kinda blurry, but gets the idea across:

Before the exhaust tips installed:

While it was up on the rack, I snapped a shot of the blue Haldex Gen 2 controller. The mechanic wanted to make sure I had enough light for the pic, so he pulled out a flashlight for the shot. Hah!

All you need now is HPA :)

But, no, I'm not going to do it. This is my last mod. :D

My ass :)

About how much louder is it inside would you say? Thanks!

I'll get a better idea after taking it for a spin up mountain roads this weekend. But so far, I'm pleasantly surprised that it's more of a performance mod than I expected, and less of a noise-maker than I expected. It does add a nice subtle growl though at certain revs.
