    3" inch Downpipe - EFI Express - Query

    http://www.efiexpress.com/catalog/pr...products_id=51

    Does anyone know if this fits B4 ABY / ADUs ?

    Thanks.

    Hi David, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be a straight fit on an S2, 034 do a similar down pipe for the C4 chassis URS4/6's and it requires modification to fit an S2 as has been documented by members on here. I think the guy who runs EFI Express is on here, Mark? Maybe he'd be able to give you a definitive answer. Looks like a well thought out and constructed item mind you.

      Really dont do it when it comes to 3" downpipes get it custom made to your car. I'm sure thats the same item 034 sell if it is then it is not a straight fit. A4kquattro can confirm if you PM him

        Thanks for replies, did seem to be too good to true, just wanted to check even though I felt with all the people on here if it was to be a straight fit it would have been headline news so to speak, will stick with an RS2 one as it is less hassle for me.

        Thanks again though.

            Hey guys,

            I cant say for absolute certain it will fit S2 since I haven't done one yet but I can tell you it fits US spec Coupe Quattro and UrQuattro. It is *NOT* the same as 034's pipe, this is manufactured specifically for us. My gut says that yes, it will fit.

              The 034 3" dp fitted my coupe with very little headache. All that was needed was to bend the bottom upward very slightly to give more ground clearance on the rest of the exhaust. I have pics available if you want

                Marc,

                Thanks for your post.

                Hopefully someone with access to welding skills, ( just in case ), will try one of your downpipes out on a Uk ABY, if it fits I'm sure you'd have a good few takers. The downpipe looks like a nice piece of kit, I like the flexi that can be incorporated and also the V band option.

                That transmission linkage below also looks like like a very good upgrade. Is there anything similar for a CGR gearbox in a B4 ABY chassis ?

                Thanks again.

                        I did, it arrived, looks great, but it's not fitted just yet, as the engine has to be fitted at the same time, and I also have to decide on a turbo to use.

                        As soon as I decide on the turbo, I'll update the other thread, and also post our findings with the downpipe.

                        Macanmar on here is fitting the engine/box/downpipe etc. with my assistance in a while.

                          I'd like to see photos - My S2 have a 3" of unknown origin, and very little ground clearance. I'd like to remedy that before I fit the H&R springs I have lying around.

                            Yes it should fit your B4 chassis car just fine with ABY configuration.

                            I have it installed on my B4 Audi 90Q with AAN swap. I still have the stock K24 with stock AAN exhaust manifold. I informed Marc that the only error on it was the o2 bung needed to be placed over a bit as it put the sensor right into the heat shield on the ABY factory air box. I purchased this from him with out the flex bellow and v band as I had my friend at MAKK Motoring finish the exhaust with a flex bellow and v band he welded on and finish with 3" stainless all the way back with a Vibrant dual tip muffler.



                            I also have efiexpress solid linkage kit on my car. I only have a 5spd currently though.

                              We actually adjusted the o2 sensor bung position after your notes on airbox clearance
