Aight Guys just looking for a bit of input here my car was running and sounding mint until recently I am guessing the exhaust has cracked every time i go over a speed bump no matter how slow i am going as soon as the front wheels get over the bump i here bang then scraping on my exhaust system now the car sounds like a bag of spanners
what are my options here new exhaust system or a simple weld to seal where it has split ?
and any 1 have any tips on what i can do to help the situation with speedbumps.
I know the car has been lowered but by how much im not sure it is also running 15's if i fitted 17's would it help with my clearance ?
cheers

It might not be cracked it might have just disturbed a joint, so have a look - sounds like it hanging low now after the first impact.
17s and appropriate profile tyres would help give you a bit more ground clearance for sure

Ok guys I have now been told that the baffles have gone and i need a new middle box any 1 know the part number ? kwick fit have quoted £100 for new middle box + fitting.
I was reading sumwhere really cant rember where that you can remove the baffles any1 on here done this ?

That price isnt bad, you should get a quote for a system from Audi if you want a shock.

Cheap after market alternative here http://sites.internet.lu/folders/cus..._90_S2_RS2.htm , i've had a back box on my CQ for ~4 years and i cant fault the quality. If anything its a little on the noisy side.

Thanks for the link looks good I can get the middle box off ebay for £40 inc del but i am now thinking of just welding a straight threw pipe for the time being if i like it i will get the same done when i get a full exhaust system done in around 6months if not can get a middle box on my new install
