Make your own...if you going to the trouble of pulling out your pipes (IMO that's the tough part), you might as well gut the cats and move to bung yourself.

I've been a customer of VAST's for longer than I can remember. I've had multiple VAST cars, and currently have a RS6'd B5 S4 with just about everything they make in it. It runs beautifully, and more importantly I truly feel lucky to have gotten to know all the guys involved with VAST through the years. Mike and Prince especially. They are truly wonderful people and were always so much more than fair. If it wasn't for their consideration in pricing, due to loyalty and how long I'd been a customer, I'd have been through with this platform a long long time ago.

I don't recognize any screen-names around here anymore, and don't see anyone who would recall how innovative, helpful and pioneering they were with this platform. The B5 would be nowhere near where it is today without them. It's a shame if all the attacks and slander led to this, one of the innovative and helpful shops going under. I truly hope that wasn't the case.


RIP VAST
You will be truly missed...

vast only faded away because while they were innovators for our cars when it came to building parts/tunes... they were gypse grifters when it came to building customer cars....
