My Ur had the same - middle box removed.
As you said Mike; sounds fab when giving it some.... but when on the motorway, it just drones (and constant moaning from anyone sat in the back)

Any soundtrack from when the middle box was removed, Mike??

Really wasn't enjoying driving the car at all with all the booming at low revs. At least i'm sure i have the perfect balance now
I don't have any fly-bys or anything that exciting, but i do have a quick clip...want to hear?

^^^ Nice trio there

Miltek middle box is back in where it should be Life is better now

Just drive it everywhere over 3k then

On a serious note though, sometimes you just have to try these things. If you didn't do it you'd always wonder what it would sound like?
Good on ya for giving it a go.

Hear, hear

Alternatively, you could go the whole hog and get a sound system like The General Lee!

When i had the full 3" stainless system made up from the turbo at the beginning of the year, i asked for them to leave the middle box out, but this got lost in translation somewhere. Ever since then i've wondered if it would sound better without the middle box.

Previoulsy i had no drone from the 3" system from turbo (with middle box). I get the fact some people like these cars to be silent stealth understated machines, but i just love the raw engine sound too much

Regretting having the middle box taken out already Over 3000rpm it sounds fantastic, but at lower revs it just drones and resembles the noise of a Honda civic!

Middle box will go back on at some stage.

Agreed with john here. Sometimes itching that scratch has to be done to make you realise things. I do it all the time

A full stainless larger bore system would be very nice!

In my experience on multiple 5 pot Audi's incl. 20VT leaving the exhaust OEM but replacing the rear box with a stainless example is the best sound wise. No droning and a lovely 5 cylinder sound.

I know you don't want to hear it Mike but deleting an important part of your car,in this case
middle box,is only going to ruin a great car. OEM plus is the way to go.
