For anyone interested in the angled Strömung cat back, the ones shipped this past spring are not angled enough for an mtech1 rear valance.
Here was Scott's original angled tip prototype on a car with mtech2 valance
Here's @tvance306's car with an mtech1 rear and the angled catback
Scott's offered some adapter tips, but they are single wall (the angled cat back is also single wall).
Here's the background info on that.
Originally posted by bradnic View Post@tvance306 and I have been working with Scott at Strömung. Tom will be trial fitting some new tip adapters next week once he has his car back from the interior shop.
Here's the classic Strömung currently on my vert. It has double tips which stick out straight from the back of the car, even though they look angled relative to the muffler
Here's the angled Strömung catback like the one Tom trial fitted with his Mtech1. It came with single wall tips. Tips look straight off the car, angled when mounted. Unfortunately they're not angled enough.
These are the adapters Scott sent him. We're to cut off all but 2" of the angled tips and clamp these adapter over the remaining portion.
Note they are single wall, not double wall
Once Tom confirms the adapters work I'll try once again to get Scott to make double walled versions. I really don't want to lose those tips.
@tvance306 modded his cat back and will be installing on his car soon.
here's the tips cut off
and the new slip on tips mounted. he hasn't tacked them in yet.
