Sorry for the short delay, but the next installment of the Project S7 series is now live. H&R, V1, VCDS and a focus on the upcoming exhaust system/intake are hinted at and featured.
http://fourtitude.com/features/proje...nk-motorsport/
...the exhaust system is currently being built in T304 stainless and by Friday will be shipping out to the Aerospace company that will be laser scanning and crafting from exotic materials, I would expect the install to happen near the end of the month. Other info of note, wheel choices have been narrowed down and will be chosen in the next week or so. (Already have the tires). Finally, making progress on changing the "finish" also
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask, would be glad to answer/assist.

In your article, you mention that the LED headlights are set up from the factory at 11% brightness. I thought that particular VCDS setting refers to the LED DRL strip and not the actual headlights. Can you please clarify?

Here are a few pictures of the exhaust as it is developing.
First- take a look at the stock system from the S7. The piping is around 2.25" and is crimped heavily in many areas, it is restricting flow, BIG TIME. Also, note the electronic by pass baffles on the out exhaust tips on each side. You can unhook these if you like, no codes or anything, just helps the sound slightly.

With the exhaust off the car, a jig was made in roughly 2.5" piping....the single center and individual resonators where removed - leaving the rear mufflers only. This will create a great sound, similar to what everyone is lusting over on the HMS Dyno video...

...now, a T304 Stainless version in 3" is made, with slip fit sections of the tubing at attachment points. This system comes apart in 6 pieces....

...one more from another angle....

it is now at Mundo Tech. (http://www.mundo-tech.com/) - they are laser scanning the system and will craft it in Titanium. From here it will be sent back to Brink MS in Austin for finally assembly and install. Meeting the exhaust at Mundo tech are Quad 90mm Dry Carbon Tips....

ETA should be 3-4 weeks for final install and assembly. Will do the APR 93 tune at that time also.
