Also - someone mentioned an aerokit for the car - is there an aero kit for the cabriolet????

The coupe aerokit, I believe would fit the Cabriolet, but IMHO, it would look very ugly, especially with the top down.

I would leave the wheels stock. Europipe is the best for the turbo IMO! When I first saw them, I thought it was the OEM sport exhaust. Quality is amazing.

Can you use the bluetooth for phone calls travelling 70mph on the highway? How loud is the cabin? How loud is the cabin of a cabriolet?

Most of the videos I can find are of coupes and interior of coupes. Would love to know if there is any expected added drone due to the fact its a cab.

Eruopipe 'eh - may just have to seriously consider this....the sound is great.

Also - the gent from BBI responded and then has gone AWOL for two days - strange. I still love those tips. That BBI setup looks and sounds the business.

Thanks again!

Adam, once again - EUURRRROPIPE! Sounds awesome and little to no drone. I say that because it's obviously subjective. Not loud when you not on it which is nice for calls as you mentioned.

Can't speak about a cab since I had it on a coupe but can extrapolate that it would be pleasant on a cab also.

No problem whatsoever with phone calls or talking to a passenger.

Drone is no different than stock.

The volume and tonal quality is just the way it should be without interfering with the daily functionality of the car and at the same time it makes driving a Turbo more of a total experience.

Some will heed my words and others will have to learn the hard way.

To me, the problem with black wheels is that they blend with the tire. Unless very close to the car, it looks like it has tires with very high sidewalls.

I've heard both europipe and bbi's exhausts and really bbi wins hands down. Give BBI another phone call. I know they are super busy right now so give them another chance to help you out. You won't be disappointed
