it was a pain in the but. First of all, on my car(97 A4) the dirverter valve is playced up by the turbo. Not down lower which made it harder to get too. Then once it was off, we found a huge hole in the hose running from the air box to the compressor side of the turbo. I couldn't believe how big it was! Anyway, fixed it all. and now the car has much more power lower in the revs and the boost peaks have are for the most part, gone.

Great. It is 3 inch pipe from the turbo back with 2 borla mufflers. It gives the car a deep tone and its pretty loud. i havent heard alot of other a4's with exaust so i dont no what to compare the sound to but i like it alot

as far as performance goes, it oppened up the dop end completely. with a ko3 it pulles hard from 3500 to 7000. there is no power drop of any more.

were are you located?

Ive got the cat place in the normal spot but it was a ceramic cat and it is hollow now. They had it set with one borla, but added a second because it was too loud. the only problem i have is that it is very low and i have problems not scraping.
