Hey guys
Just got word from the garage my pipes have arrived in and going to head to Alloa to get them fitted at 2pm today!
Looking forward to hearing them on the rs3, my mate had them on his tt rs and that what made me want to get them.
Planning on going revo in next two weeks then milltek back box after!
Will post a video later on tonight so u guys can see the difference!

Just drive back to Glasgow from Alloa after having the pipes fitted.
Once I started the car there was no difference what so ever. It wasn't until I hit the motorway and put it into sport and hit S that when I seem a massive difference in the exhaust note. It is louder than oem which you can notice straight away. Once you hit full power, you can hear I noise when changing gear. Having done just under 3000 miles in mine already it was quite strange. Bit it is normal I will hopefully get some videos put up fr you all to have a look at.
I was charged £195 supply and fit.
Been quoted £1070 supply and fit for the cat back system with polish tips and £70 extra for black tips I'm sure. Def worth doing!

What's your overal view? Worth doing? Someone is selling a pair second hand for £100 so if my cars not too bad and can be fixed may go for it...

My view on these are to go get them fitted today! They are worth every penny. You will see and hear a massive difference. I will hopefully try get some new ones uploaded tomorrow. The videos were just of my iPhone.
That a gd price for second hand ones, you should def get them if your car isn't too bad have u heard anything yet?
