I've not got one myself but I believe there are big gains but I could not be asked with changing for the MOT every year.
Milltek High flow cat are best part of a grand so IMO Revo sps 3 is only £700 ish!!! Know what I'd have.

No power gains, only an emmisions warning light on the dash if your came with two lambda probes. I have one, never use it. Miltek cats are a much better option.

I could, but seriously, what's the point? It brings on the engine warning light on the dash and does sod all else other than a pop between first and second.

Exhausts and airfilters really don't have any effect on the S3. An audible change, but no extra power. A friend of mine lost 7bhp on his one just by putting on a turbo back APR system.
