Three weeks in with the system, and so far:

I'm driving around more on sport mode than ever before. Seldom drove sport mode before exhaust.

There is a burble/burp on deceleration while on sport that is intoxicating. loving it! Have not heard or noticed it while on drive.

MPG however has dropped from 18 in the city to 13. Mostly due to sport mode and lots of launch. Fun factor is thru the roof!!

Yup. Power on to some medium-high revs in a gear then lift off and coast and you can get the sound every time.

That's a good looking rear end. We're glad you're happy!

Hey Mike. I'm jealous tho. I see where you'll be offering a valved "SwitchPath Exhaust Technology" on the S3. Something like the Capristo? Does that system allow you to switch between track and touring?

Anything in the works for S4/S5/S6/S7?

We developed our SwitchPath system for the S3 to take advantage of the stock valving system that is already in place. The activation point for the valves is controlled by the car. Alternatively, we offer a non valved Track Edition. No SwitchPath system will be coming for the S4-S7 in the short term.

Hello Mike. I have a question. I'd PM you but think that one or two others might also be wondering this.

As for the 3.0 S-Flo Carbon Intake. If I were to buy it and use a K&N (I've used K&N for years on our Q5 and three years on the S5) would that more or less equal the results of your proprietary S-Flo filter? Afterall, they are both oil, high flo filters.
