well i cant tell you what Hp gains ull get, but i know from my m3 that supersprint is very high quality stuff and you wont regret going with their piping.. but with that said you gotta take a chunk otta the ol' wallet for SS stuff..

Actually Supersprint is not as bad, $-wise, as Cargraphic or Tubi. They are in the middle of the range. I had SS exhaust (a long time ago) on my GTI, and loved it.

Supersprint has the worst welds of any high level line ive seen. Looks like a muffler shop. I purchased some of the cat bypass pipes (im a dealer BTW) they looked like bubbas muffler welds and the pipes SAGGED on one side and didnt fit properly. The pricing isnt horrible, just horrible for the quality. Im going to let you guys in in a secret. Ebay headers add about the same HP as ANY other header system on the market for 3.4 or 3.6 . Gains are 6-10 hp and thats IT!!! I have tested pretty much all the headers on the dyno here and its the same sotry, 6-10 for headers, 6 -12 for exhaust, 10 -15 for air intake, 7-15 IPD penum, 10 hp lightwieght flywheel, 100hp+ supercharger.

I have seen 10 ish hp on flywheels several times, Its doesn MAKE hp per say, but frees up HP to the wheels, so esentially "unlocks" power to the wheels

I heard Borla has good headers not expensive.

I remember reading a couple threads here where the ebay headers actually lost HP... Not only that, some of them are made in such a way that you can no longer easily remove the 2 long bolts for mufflers, making it a PITA to do muffler swaps.

cargraphic. Made in germany, nicer welds and proven HP gain. Supersprint has quality control and fitment issues.

That is my opinion. Yes. EVrything supersprint i have installed seems kinda ,,,,"janky" and my 996 cat deletes plain and simple, fit like crap. If those are your 2 choices, cargraphic by a mile

[jstrat85]
