RS6 custom build Hi Flow Cat systems

Post by FlyRS6 » Fri Sep 28, 2007 4:18 pm

Just been quoted by a company I have used before for full stainless system (downpipe back) with hi flow cats and fitting and VAT for £1100 is this a good price. This is a custom build where they tailor eacj system to the car

I'm wondering (if this is a good price) whether people would be interested in a group buy or reduction with pre orders

the company are Blue Flame based in the North West with easy motorway access.

I dont know much about exhausts so how much are the often mentioned MTM?

What difference does that make (in performance and sound).
Also, does the car pass MOT like that?

There is not a major increase in noise from inside the car - in fact hardly noticeable. From outside there is more noise but not loud. I had a full Milltek on my Stage 3 RS4 and it was a nightmare!

The turbos do spool quicker with the lack of back pressure and it feels quicker - probably not as much a performance increase as the full Milltek system but a lot more stealth for a lot less money!

The car went through a full MOT a week later with no issues - lambada sensors went into the new cats without throwing any errors either.

There are so any types of sports cat on the market , most cheap ones are rubbish , I'll get a price on some good ones . I've got a spare set of rs6 d/pipes , i can gut the pre-cats and get some sports cats if you want .
