Newbie exhaust question, advice needed.

[s2addicted]

Hi there, bought my first s2 Avant a few weeks ago , a Ruby Red 95 Model and not had a chance to get out and get some decent pics on here yet! I've been too busy enjoying the drive but have noticed the exhaust is blowing, was made real apparent after flooring it at the lights, yes childish i know but i was being egged on by my 8 month pregnant wife who was getting annoyed at the boy racer beside us who had been weaving in and out of traffic infront of us!

Ok so amusingly i left him staring at my rear end but noticed it did nt sound right, very deep sound coming from the front so i presume its the front end but no eggy smell or anything.

Ok so i figure if its an exhaust i need to change, firstly who can i get a stock system from or bits necessary as i'm in London. I may well look to upgrade the system as leafing through the history/ reciepts it doesnt seem like its had any work done to the exhaust and its done 139k now.

I've seen the name miltek bandied about but are there others ?would like some guidance on where to go as several of the web sites dont cater for the s2 avant.

I'm going to have a sniff around tomorrow but thought it best i get some advice on options as opposed to doing it on the cheap only to have to change bits again later.

Any advice appreciated and i promise i'll have pics up soon!

Pet at quattro corner might still have some Milltek ones left.

and I think laser avant s2 on here has a standard one, if not sal_s2 would be your next best bet.

Look forward to seeing a picture of your avant.

Sorry Bo bought my Miltek... Pete at QC had one left about a week ago iirc

I have a full standard system from a 1995 s2 avant sitting on my lawn?

Supersprint have started producing them again. I got a 30% trade discount with the supplier they list for the UK on their website so there are savings to be made.

RE2500s's zorst is in good knick or get a Milltek from Pete @ Quattro Corner. A new standard system from Audi will cost you nearly £1k, that's the same as a proper 3" turbo back or a full Milltek!

wow that was mighty quick! Thanks for all the advice, i'll check the quattro corner to see whats the score with the miltek, if bugget doesnt allow failing that i'll be pming about the various stock options open to me.

I'll be trying to sus out the leak/hole today if possible but if not tomoz as its my day off to see where its coming from.

Does anyone have any opinions on those hyperboost diverter valves on the miltek site? Is it worth doing or a waste of time?

Sorry for all the questions by the way, i dont mean to be annoying i promise!

For standard turbo a Bosch 710N off an S3 is fine. I've got a Forge 007 and it's OK but they are renowned for leaking. The 710Ns don't last forever but they're cheap as chips so just keep a spare in the glovebox like I do

Pete had the 3" cat back for an RS2 on here recently.

Cheers Andy i'll take that on board.

Definitly go for a Milltek if you can afford it, you will LOVE the sound
Looking forward to seeing your Avant, hopefully it is another one that can be added to the register I run for them (click pic in my sig for more info)
