    Milltek won't do it so I can't see Supersprint who are based in Italy I believe doing it. I'm sure I asked them in the past and they said no only bulk order.

    And there in is the problem, a one off is no good to a manufacturer who sells parts off the shelf.

      I had a phone call with the production manager Mr. D.Branchini this morning.

      Point of the situation it's that i'll send him an email with the link to this thread.
      He reckons that they'll think over if they receive a request for a batch of 10 exahust kits (including the downpipe) in 70mm split in 5 per Coupès and 5 per Avants.
      Options of dekat (I personally hate that "conversion"...) or sportkats will be considered.
      Everything (if been accepted by Supersprint) will be developed in connection with UK importer (precisely with Mr.Steve already mentioned in Simon's post).

      I can give the email adress of Mr. Branchini if the staff of S2Forum decides to go on with the request of infos.

      If I can be of any help i'm here.

        As I already have the full system I would only be interested in a 3" DP with a bolt in/out sports cat section. I believe the Coupe/Avant is the same to this point? Therefore I am sure 10 would be surpassed with ease on this forum. For me the rest of the Supersprint system would be ok as they already do Avant and Coupe.

          Sounds the same as when I spoke to them, they would only do the full exhaust and not the downpipe alone.

              I've been watching this thread closely and thought it's time I chipped in.

              At the moment I'm in the process of buying a downpipe from a forum member. My plan for when it arrives is to take it to a couple of local fabricators that I know through work and see if they are willing to replicate a 3" version. Originally I was just going to get a one off done for my own car but I'll look into the possibility of having more made. It may come to nothing but it's at least worth a try. I'm on holiday for the next week so nothing is likely to happen for at least a couple of weeks but I'll post up whether it's possible or not once I've made a few inquiries.

                Well, after a bit of a wait my Supersprint cat back has arrived from Supersprint, Italy via Europarts Wembley, that hold the distribution rights in the UK. They repacked it and sent it on to me, the centre box packed in a box too small for it, so a hole in the box was created to allow the exhaust to hang out without any protection - brilliant. Who needs bubble wrap or a box that fits?! Apart from the odd small scratch on the bolts its all fine. I've posted a photo.

                On close inspection the exhaust looks well put together, but it does need a bit of detailing before it goes on. There are also a couple of very small creases on the rear silencer, on the top. Nothing major and will be out of sight when fitted but when you're spending this sort of money (£850) you really do expect perfection. I'll post photos tomorrow.

                Let's hope the enjoyment factor when its fitted will be more fun than the above!

                So I am now reading up on metal polishing and asking fellow forum members for tips on polishing stainless steel which brings me neatly on to a brand new Y pipe I bought from Audi which I will post tomorrow with photos - what a disgrace.

                Cheers,

                      A so called brand new Y pipe from Audi

                      On the matter of the new Y pipe (Cats to centre box) I bought from Audi it arrived with no protective wrapping, and looked like it had been stored in a damp place as it was quite rusty in places. I've had a number of parts from them and rejected them only for more of a wait and the arrival of another damaged part. As my car has been off the road since March awaiting parts I decided to accept it and went straight to Halfords for some detailing product and after an evening of rubbing and scrubbing here are the before and after shots.

                      Why do Audi make it so hard to keep Audis on the road?

                          Y Pipe

                          It comes in two sections and was @ £200 plus connecting parts to centre box and to cats. I ordered all new brackets, rubbers etc for the Supersprint exhaust to hang on as well as the connecting brackets too. All in all £320. The original exhaust came off quite easily but there is now a delay while we replace the heat shields above the centre and rear box which were pretty rusty. While all of these have been off I have been working on the car underneath to clear up any rust where the membrane/underseal has been broken, rubbed these spots down, applied rust eater, then a coat of waxoil. I started this at the rear of the car, and have now progressed all the way down the car and have also been polishing the cat heat shields too. A labour of love or maybe I am getting a little obsessed!

                          Cheers,
