Zima Ceramic Coated Downpipes + Macht Schnell VCM

Dimov777 · 01-31-2015, 06:21 PM

Hey guys I've just install downpipes and Macht Schnell Valve control module and I love it. The car sound amazing with no drone at all!!! The Zima downpipes are great perfect fitment and very easy to install the craftsmanship is great they are piece of art. The Valve Control module is easy to install and works great I had it for a day on my car before I install the DP and honestly I don't think is worth it if you doesn't install catless DP. I am sharing this cause was very hard for me to decide how to make my car sound more aggressive and in the same time not driving my neighbors crazy every time I start the car. Now I have the sound that I want when I want it. Thanks you and happy modding

Did you install these yourself?

Looks great.

Blindside_137 · 01-31-2015, 08:34 PM

Awesome, looking forward to a video. Be sure to include subtitles for when you have the valves closed/open or auto

RocketBoots · 01-31-2015, 08:50 PM

Ya can't wait to hear a vid.

Just to clarify, for the downpipes, you did not have to cut anything, correct?

No cutting required

it's a simple bolt-on. Takes probably 3 hours

Jez_zza · 02-01-2015, 03:23 AM

Oh I'm really glad to read your review... I have already the EVC module that I'll install next week. As for the DPs I'll get them in 2 to 3 weeks.

Quick question how is the sound level inside the cabin when the valves are closed and when they are open ? I just want to make sure that it's not crazy loud when traveling with family .. Cheers

Hi Dimov

Would you mind sharing more pictures of the OEM Downpipe?

A few shots from different angels (also the inside) + high res would be really nice

Best,

When the valves are closed the sound is pretty much like stock on sport+ mode great for city cruising or road trips

When they are open is like u have aftermarket exhaust. No drone either way. I am not sure how other DP will sound maybe they are all the same maybe not but I am very happy with Zima DP. Thanks
