could always ask BTB to make one but it wont be cheap. But they make pucker one off exhausts.

I have never liked the milltek offering for the S3. My main pet hate was the way if hangs lop sided on one side below the bumper line.

thanks for the replys guys.I was considering the supersprint racing system, other options include miltek,scorpion,oettinger,jetex.Most of these are 2.5 or 2.75".Haywood and scott are renound for there quality but there miles from me as i'm based in the midlands.
have dropped btb a mail,as there in nothants,i've recently found out that the standard exhaust cat-back is 2.5" so the miltek is not much of a improvement

Dunc, ask Simon Elman. H&S seem to be pretty darn good value for a handmade system.

Cheers

Hi,

How much are we talking for an H&S hand built system?

Cheers

Al,

IIRC it's not as expensive as you would think. I think it was around the £800 mark with cats. I don't think Simon has had any problems with his either, I know he added the down pipe after also.

Cheers
