Hey guys i just got the magnaflow #14862 for my audi 2.8 and on the exhaust it has the straight tip out of the center of the muffler. And yet for the stock exhaust for the 2.8 it goes into the muffler on the side. So me and my friend were planning on cutting/bending and welding. Yet is there an easier way to do it?

Also audi is one hard *** car to work on. I have never struggled so much putting in a short shifter. Or springs.

 

I have to disagree, kinda. They'rereally hard to work on if you don't know the "trick" to it. It seams like everything on the car has a simple solution to make it work, it's just hard to figure out what that is sometimes. But I can see where you are coming from.

As far as the exhaust goes, instead of bending the pipe thats on there, I would cut it off a little further up and weld on a curved piece that fits. You can pick up curved pieces of pipe pretty cheap, and I think it would make it a lot easier on you, and you would end up with a higher quality job in the end.

 

lol it just takes skill, I loved working on my audi I found it very easy

 

Just take it to a shop. My friends shop did it for $40 when he installed my 14815.

 

Yeah thanks for letting me know you're no longer "very interested" in my setup... reeeallllll cool man

 

wood_e,

Why do you have a ford focus? lol im sorry i just think that's wierd to see on a AUDI forums site.

 

If you read my sig you would find that my A4 died on the 20th of August. I still hang around here for help and to try and sell parts off that car.

 

Sorry wood, i thought i Pm'd you back and said Nevermind. I was very intersted in it, It sounded great etc. But i decided to get a rs4 grill short shifter, H&R lowering springs and a muffler rather than a used full exhaust. In my opioion it seemed like a better decision.

 

wood_e you will be greatly missed, hope you still stick around for some friendly banter now and again.

 

Thanks Klum, itmeans a lot. I'll drop by often as I have no problems with the focus so I'm not on the focus forums much...
