Re: RS4 B7 Milltek De Cat Pipes

I've just installed a set of 100 Cell Milltek downpipes last week and I certainly notice the change in smell from the exhaust gases.

Re: milltek decats

I've got a set on 100 cell downpipes being installed today.

I decided against the decats because of the reported smells from them and the fact that its a $10,000 fine if I'm sprung with them (with the smell making it more obvious to any curious police officer!)

Here's a clip of mine from a track day, with the cam pointing at the exhaust. My car recording starts at 8m30s mark

You can actually see the exhaust growing!!

Re: Best exhaust for an RS4

Ive got the non-res, non-valved catback Milltek. I loved the sound so much, but it wasnt quite as loud as I wanted, so I've just purchased some 100 cell downpipes. sound quality and volume is a very personal thing, so its quite impossible for me to say what's perfect to you. I chose non-valved becau...

Re: Audi RS4 B7 for Fifth Gear TV shoot

Gutted - Simon emailed me to say come along to use my RS4 as I live 2 minutes away from where they will be filming. Unfortunately I thought I would be flying back from honeymoon on 29 Aug and so could make it. Looked at my flight details to find its an overnight flight and after adding time differe...

Re: " I'm sitting 3 feet away from one of THE best engines E

I have that clip permanently recorded onto my PVR and watch it from time to time.

However, when he made the quote about best engine ever, I suspect they didnt know much about the carbon problem then!

Re: S3 to b7 rs4?

even if an S3 was as quick as the RS4, the RS would win hands down on exhaust noise
