They aren't too far from me, do you have any experience personally with their products.

I had my S4 with a full s/s system and 200 CPSI race cats and on my RS4 I have an x-pipe fitted. caldy has a full system which sounds brilliant and I am due to have a new cat back system put on mine in the next few months once I scrape the money together.

They have a good reputation and currently a 7 week waiting list but you won't regret it.

Not sure TBH but would budget between £6-800 fitted for a non-valved system.

When you say you have x-pipe fitted, do you mean on the standard system?

Yes, it replaces the resonators / middle 1/3 section of your exhaust if you think of an exhaust in three sections, the other two being cats + downpipes and back boxes + tips.

Should have got me to fit it for you m8 :D - I have all the facilities here and the cost would have been a shedload less that what you were charged.

Was it the performance tuning garage located near your work by any chance?

So does this (x-pipe) fit straight onto standard exhaust? What benifits did you notice?? Basically did it sound better?

Had a look under the car - seems would need to cut original pipework to fit the x-pipe.
