RS2 Catalytic Convertors

[quattroboy]

Hi Guys,

Anybody know if the Standard RS2 Cat Cons will fit a 1997 S6 Avant?

I believe that the Twin Cats on the RS2 are Hi Flow Sports jobbies and my 2 S6 Avant Cats are breaking up.

Thanks for any replies.

Dave, I don't know if RS2 converters will be a straight swap to your car, but they surely are higher flow than 3B-ABY-AAN ones, while being smaller.

Here are some infos, anyway:

RS2 Cats

Thanks for the reply Marco,

Great Pictures!

I think that you have answered my question though because the RS2 Cats look totally incompatible with my S6 AAN Cats.

I might be able to do some pipe bending and fabricating but is it worth it?

Think I might have to go down the Milltek route and get a pair of there Stainless Steel Sports Cats along with a matching downpipe.

Only reason for the RS2 question was that I can get hold of a pair of nearly new RS2 Cats for 100.00 GBP.

Thanks

I'd get the pair of cats for that price. The Milltek sports cat (one only, replaced the pair) cost around £400+ if I recall. No idea if it's gonna pass the emissions yet but fingers crossed.

As for the sound the exhaust makes... well, it's kind of a 'chirping' or 'rasping' rather than a decent throaty roar. It's blowing in the middle so that won't help (gonna have to take the thing off, reseat it and hope it seals) but it's hard to hear anything over the whine of the turbo and the hissing of the wastegate now :S It is genuinely loud enough with all the whizzing, whining and wooshing to make people turn round and wonder what's making all the noise :S
