i would think running a 3" dp and 3" catback would be better than 3" dp with no muffler. Just my thoughts though. if i have 2 exhaust cutouts on my rear bumper i would like some tips coming out.
if you want your car to sounds like a tractor go for it. Thats just not my style

 

slow1 you need to paint the top half of your car black

 

yeah that would look pretty slick but that costs too much monies...

 

that's only a tractor IF you straight pipe it. meaning NO resonator and NO muffler. i have a deleted resonator and myxyzxo has a muffler delete. and they dont sound like tractors =P and yes you DO keep the tips.. they're welded onto the pipe that replaces the muffler

but yes, a 3" dp with a 3" cbe will no doubt be better than w/ a 3" dp and muffler-less stock exhaust, but see i'm thinking performance to cost ratio. a 3" cbe will net better gains, but for the amount you spend on it, you're better off deleting the muffler w/ a 3" DP... that is if ur stock. if u have a 3" DP and have the cash to throw around then by all means get a 3" cbe.

hell i'd trade my neuspeed exhaust for a stock 180TTQ exhaust + $250 on their end =)

 

oooh sounds tempting!...... ;o) take it off and send it first? lol

 

^ i'm up for it. if anyone wants to trade their stock 180TTQ exhaust + $250 (and shipping ;] )

i'll do it


sorry bout the /threadjack

 

After the dp just bump it out behind the front tire... Who's got that?? !!! Benz/meclaron 550!

 

in front of the back tire. Behind the front tire would blow exhaust in your face.

 

well the exhaust came in. My brother didnt bring his cam so i cant take any pics yet. Overall looks pretty nice for 403 shipped, the welds look great and overall looks like a quality exhaust. The inner pipe diam isnt 3" even thought it said it was it isnt... it is a hair over 2.75. lol. My only complaint (not sure if it matters yet i havent looked under my car.) The piece that will bolt up to my DP isnt flanged? did audi use clamps at the DP and not flanges? If it is a flange then i will have to take it somewhere to get it welded and that will P me off. Also it didnt come with a gasket to connect the main pipe to the muffler part. If my stock one is decent i will reuse it and use some of that copper gasket stuff for exhaust.... Otherwise i need to find a 3" exhaust gasket.

i give it a thumbs up though.

edit: just looked under my car it is all clamp fitted and not flanged. so i need to get a gasket and hardware to install this exhaust... not sure where to get the gasket prob autozone or something... I will put it on sunday so i hope to have a cam to take pics by then.

 

get some pics up when its done, i'd be interested to see how it fares for that kind of money!
