I just installed a stock 225 exhaust and 3.2 valance on my 180 QC (thanks again Joe). If anybody damaged theirs or needs to put theirs back to stock, come get it, takes it away. I live in Oakland in the SF Bay Area. email me.

leaving my stock 180 exhaust at the muffler shop when I did the switch... Figured I'd run out of room for it eventually at home...

Mine will probably go to the recycler if I get no takers

can I ask how much and if it can be done on a FWD roadster?

The quattro exhausts have a crimp in the pipe to accomodate the haldex clutch, which is terchnically a restriction in the line. You FWD, doesn't have this, which probably means better flow. you're probably better off just getting an aftermarket exhaust meant for your vehicle.

I actually did a full write-up with pics on this exhaust procedure and posted to these forums a few years back...

If you cut the pipe after the crimp and cut your pipe at the proper length, you can get a muffler shop to weld a sleave and adapt the dual muffler to your existing system. With that being said, I paid next to nothing for my 225 exhaust. My friend knew the guy at the muffler shop so he did the install for $60. The 3.2 rear valance was the most expensive part of the whole process at $80. If you can do this and keep your cost down, then it's worth it because there isn't enough performance gain vs an aftermarket exhaust to justify spending any more than $300 for the whole process.
