    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

      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.

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.

          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!

                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.

                  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

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

                      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
