Deffo go for gutted rs4 dps and get an exhaust system that has the same diameter! S4 main cats 400 cpi and the rs4's are 200 cpi like the milltek dp's! Cheap and effective option.

All I'll say is this job is massively labour intensive, what down pipes you fit makes no difference (other than mating it to the rest of the exhaust), just make sure you are happy as you dont want to have to repeat it.

just put rs4 pipes on mine with no precats, running a 3" miltek system, the link pipes are only 2 straight bits of pipes 63mm o/d if i remember correctly, this pipe slotted over downpipes and inside exhaust nicely. just welded up spare lambda holes, all done in 5 hours including removing pre cats.

yeah done on a ramp, exhaust, dts to drop rear of the subframe, g/box mounts, heatshields, one of the egt"s disconnet the lambda plugs, bit of fiddling and swearing and out they fall.
