vRS Launch with Pipewerx Exhaust

Jonno VRs · 21-03-2008, 18:06

I think they look quite good but the pipes are just slightly too big for my liking I think. No pleasing some folk is there?

You can get smaller tailpipes. Personally I think it looks great, quite OEM looking like the RS4

i think it sounds class. also love to get one for my TDi. I'd wonder what she's sound like with the shifting of the gears a lot quicker as she'sa diesel...very interested..

Can you get some more photos too please?

thanks.

So... if you had the choice, i.e. you could only go for 1 over the next 12 months plus, would you go for;

a) the RS4 looks and sound of an exhaust system (plus a few more bhp) like that..... or

b) the power of a stage 1 Revo ??????

I would have to say (b) as I am now considering this anyway....

So to spend £60 to take a silencer out is better than £350 + for a new system. Isn't it?

Just wanted to know if there was any particular negatives i.e. it will change the back pressure and mess up the turbo or something? Perhaps? or not?

I drove from Garston to get my Race cat made & fitted by Pipewerx

The Powerflow in St Albans made my a straight through pipe for my Ibiza TDi £70 fitted

I like that mate, sounds excellent

bahnstormer vrs · 23-03-2008, 14:40

Just listened to this again (with decent speakers); I think the little bit of overrun pop, pop, pop at the end is quite cute!

Which bit did you get them to make 'straight through'? Did you have a de-cat or take out one of the silencers?

I'm thinking (for min cost) of just taking out the middle silencer, although I know a new backbox would be more effective (but costly).

Sounds goo though.

Harry_vRS · 23-03-2008, 15:49

Cheers.

I didn't intend to launch it fully (sandy road surface in places, wouldn't get traction anyway)

Just wanted to give you an idea of what its like at slower speeds

Tom_vRS · 23-03-2008, 19:26

I wanna hear what its like for the whole rev range!

I'm disappointed that no-one has yet got around to doing an exhaust for the vRS TDI.

but I'm thinking of just getting the centre silencer box removed and replaced with some straight pipe. This ought to give less back pressure and make is less quiet. Any major downsides that anyone can think of?

Thanks; had a look at it and it confirms my thinking that the routing of the exhaust must be the same for both TFSI and TDI. Also at c. 640 Euros plus carriage and fitting; its quite pricey.

What it does throw up is that, if you look at the back box only, you need an 'adaptor' that is different for TFSI vs. TDI. I wonder why? Different tube diameter perhaps?
