I've noticed that for whatever reason the TSI seems to sound a lot different depending on exhaust setup. some sound buzzy like a d series with a fart can, but then others sound deeper similar to the FSI. It's weird because on the FSI all the exhaust setups i've heard sound almost identical just different amounts of noise level.

      @EasthoodRacing 5 лет назад +1

      @miro So the wing on car will function on any car. Drivetrain doesn't matter. Essentially the wing is helping the rear of the car stay planted and cut through the air. I also have a front splitter that also increases downforce of the car. my car will oversteer if pushedto the limits. In actuality the wing makes the biggest difference under braking. The reward pressure allows the car to stay stable under braking with release into the corner. Check out TCR or WTCR cars! Aero is Aero!
