Plenty big enough for now. I'll get some before and after vids and maybe an open DP run for ***** and giggles
how'd you get it for 350$? The web site says 400$

I contacted them via eBay about buying one, mentioned that I was very active on here as well as Audizine, and they offered me a discount

I'm about half way through the install now, pretty straight forward. I need to adjust the rear hangers slightly, but it looks good so far!

Snapped off the last bolt holding the down pipe to the test pipe

**** it, going to happy hour. I don't have to work in the morning so I'll go to home depot first thing tomorrow for new bolts.

I've hauled these around in my "trunk" for 2 weeks now, so tomorrow I'm going to lower my car.

Finally finished installing that cat back. I was so pissed yesterday I quit and went to sleep lol. Amazing what 12 hours of sleep will do for your demeanor. Overall I'm pretty pleased. The fitment was decent. The exhaust hanger placement wasn't perfect but it's workable. I still need to get a torch and bend one of the hangers to get the tips more in the center of the valence cutout. Sound is pretty good, I'm happy with it. The video quality is terrible, taken with my cell phone. The rattling you hear isn't the exhaust, it's my phone vibrating on my back bumper. I'm gonna try to buy/borrow a better camera to get video that doesn't suck.

sitting in Firestone as I type waiting on driver's side rear bearing to be replaced. Would like to have tackled this myself, but been a crazy week and need a break... however, after I get done here I will be tackling the "temp" repair to my light switch for the first time, as well as changing oil. I also need to track down and oil leak: seems to be on pax side and causes smoke to come from hood after driving a few minutes. Just looked under there while the car is on the lift here, and looks like the most oil I can see is tracking down the lines to the oil pan - which by the way was the my first time seeing how Audi set this all up... interesting, but I will give them an A+ for oil filter access...

Finished the drop, took about 4 hrs total. I am very happy with the looks and the way it drives.

Looks WAY better man! Not too bouncy? I wish my headlights were that clear...
