MOT Emissions Failure after RS2 Spec

[rynaqui]

It does sound tame but good at the same time, still want it to be comfortable to drive as I drive it quite often and currently the vibrations and droning the car is making is very tiring, I'll be glad to get rid of this exhaust

[quattrostyle]

Sounds pretty tame IMO, certainly won't make too much noise going by the vid.

[rynaqui]

I hope so too, am certain it will be based on the sound of this RS2 with a supersprint!

Can't wait, hopefully next week

Ryan I hope the exhaust you ordered ends up being a good one,at that price it would be criminal if you end up not happy with it. My thoughts are going back to a recent post you put up about the beech people getting angry. Hope it works well but have to agree with cottis oem is better but damm expensive.

[rynaqui]

Have you ordered one already?

Yep if it arrives next week, will get it fitted on the Saturday, my weekend off

Is there not trucks coming into Malta regularily. Where they could bring you one for much less than the shipping charge you mentioned.

Necessity should bring out some more resourcefulness in you.

There are and it should and it has

Went on ebay and typed super sprint with the code for each exhaust. Came out at 1891 euro including shipping for the whole system via DHL .

Somehow cheaper on ebay, guy has thousands of good reviews at 99.5%, now we just have to wait for the system to arrive, expensive but I can't stand the vibrations anymore, driving me nuts!

I've had exhausts built before at different places and have always asked for low noise at idle but have always found them to sound like boy racer exhausts full of drone. I remember one of them totally spoiled my the engine noise of one CQ I had. If you know the right people who know exactly what they are doing, I am sure there are plenty of good ones out there but I've not come across better than the standard OEM exhausts or Miltek as a next best thing. Both are no doubt either costly or not available.

I've had the same experiences.

I bought a new old stock oem middle box last year, but Audi don't have any RS2 back boxes, which I'd buy even though they would be fierce expensive.

[macspring]

Still running stock downpipe, the exhaust system I have at the moment is quite rubbish and I want rid asap.

Would have loved the supersprint and was going to order one but shipping is ridiculous at €820 euro, guess I'm stuck again unless someone wants to help me out

Agreed, if you can keep certain original elements from the OE system it should be fine. I just found when replacing everything that it was just loud and boomy. It didn't help that the CQ I had, had the best engine note I have ever heard and that horrible exhaust just spoilt it badly but finding an original was impossible at the time and I could not afford a new one from Audi years ago. You live and learn.

[quattrostyle]

I never had an expensive stainless system, but the stainless back box I fitted to my 90 quattro sounded awesome as does my CQ now with a small cheap stainless back box. No drone at all but a lovely sound. I think it's about the mid box in front of the rear axle that's still original.

Was looking at the supersprint exhaust option as it looked nice and fits the bill for the kind of thing I want..even at 2.75" should be sufficient for RS2 spec especially once the restrictive Y section is removed

At 1900 euro it is expensive though, will leave it as a last resort if nothing suitable crops up

is that full front-to-back including cat?

on my coupé I have a supersprint from turbo upto rear axle (so incl DP) where it hooks up to the standard rear silencer. I put in a sportscat (iirc 100dpi, bought it from 034 back then). see http://s2power.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3452 the total costs for this were including mounting below 1000€

1900E seems very expensive but I guess he has a captive market so why not
