The only downside is occasionally when you lift off the throttle at low speeds with the windows down, you'll hear a little gurgle as if the car was running a little rich or maybe the computer blipped the throttle. In fairness, the 2008 Audi TT makes this sound stock. YMMV.

wow, i would've thought that the sr pipes would make the car noticeably louder... guess i was wrong!! Thanks for that update... as for the car running rich, that's probably b/c the straight pipes and basically no cats allow the unburnt gas to burn up later down the pipe? that's my idea...
for 800+ dollars for the sr pipes, your input is making me go towards the intake only... i can't expect too much power from a 325i, so i'm just going for the sound... i'm pretty happy now, but i want it to be a little louder...
and i agree completely that the most noticeable difference is in the 2k rev band...
canucklion,
that's my idea... i think the sport is probably just like stock, except it has a slightly deeper note...
