"Whaddya doin ******!?" haha, that made me laugh.

Look under A3/S3 on ECS since its labeled by car. Buy a stock replacement and you're set.

damn, the stealership will get ya every time.

My testpipe just came in the mail (from a shitty seller!) so that'll be my new toy to hold my addiction off awhile. Hopefully it fits and everything. He sent me a different testpipe than agreed on, no hardware (like we agreed on) and it was a week late. Kinda ticked off.

why do all of phil's thread turn out like this... if he does something you disagree with just let it go. We are here to help each other and offer advice. Im sick of reading nothing but audi on audi crime, with people fighting and just acting like immature kids.

So are you going to get rid of the car? I guess what a lot of people would suggest is buy another b5 and part out your current one to get an alright amount of money. If that's possible. Seems like a good excuse to get quattro

Well all that stuff on the car are just little things honestly, the car still drives fine, I'm gonna go get smog check dne, if it won't pass smog then ill prolly buy a quattro b5 but if it does then ill just keep it, like I said I'm cool with the fwd, although I would rather have quattro it isn't that big of a deal... Sooo ill either have 2 audis or one really nice audi lol

I have a custom sub box made out of my spare tire spot, I actually just sold my amp and cross over but still have everything else. I have a false floor made. Here you go just to give you an idea of how to go for the subs here are my pics. 2 twelves, to loud for me I am selling all the audio stuff, I'm an audiophile but this was just to loud.
