    ABY S2 Avant D/P

    On my S2 Avant, the part of the D/P that comes from the turbo, down and spilts into 2 for the 2 cats appears to have been flattened by being hit by something, where it goes across for the passenger side catalyst. Is this meant to be flat or is it meant to be round in shape?



    I think it should be round personally but want to make sure.

      Really?! That must be pretty restrictive? I thought it was meant to be round?

          I'm very tempted by that option, but its not really viable now. Where are Pipewerx? Were they any good?

              If you don't mind me asking how much was the pipewerx exhaust? Isn't it Ian Birch that own's it? The legend who was dubsport????

                    Thanks.
                    The whole system is off the car at the mo - no pics in situ - they welded a flange on the downpipe just as it exits from the side of the sump, then made me a 2.75" system, single cat, twin box for £800 all in. quality is spot on, it took them about 5 hours and they also made me an extra 3" flange for another car for free (normally about £25).
                    The guys are VW nuts and were telling me about some of their creations. The guy who actually does the welding however is an ex-blue flame fella.

                      S-Express,

                      I presume the fit is as good as OEM ?

                      I know it's off the car, but would you be able to post some photos anyway, but only if convenient?

                      Can you give an idea of price for the downpipe and for the system?

                      No pressure, btw.

                      Thanks and kind regards.

                        Wigan isn't mega far from here anyway, shame it needs trailered everywhere now. I'm very tempted to go for a PipeWerx setup but I'm thinking of going a completely different way with it.

                          Going to pipewerx myself in May. They are near my sis in law just north of Ormskirk. About an hours drive for me but worth it as never heard anything but praise for his work.
