Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

definetly, i see you made your purchase! will you be getting down pipes or piggies before your install? im going to cut my precats to make piggies first before i throw the exhaust on.

Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

I think quality would be better shown looking at the welds, not how the metal looks. in our climate no metal will be looking brand new after 12 months of being exposed.

The welding is one way to look at it, but I've personally seen the difference in steel quality and type, in our local climate and with our local roads, between various exhaust makers and systems.

Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

I was certainly pretty unimpressed with how my rather expensive AWE exhaust looked like after 18 months under my car...sadly sometimes you are just paying for the poor substitute of a name than an actual decent product.

Did you make any progress dealing with AWE on that issue, Jeremy?

Just to clarify, Ben, I think those were "Ryan" piggie pipes, not VAST piggie pipes haha

lol i heard ya, i have had my s for 4 years now, and picked up an intake and lowered it this year. so 4 years before mods started to roll it. maybe due to the fact i was so busy fixing it all the time. lol

Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

while on the topic of piggies how long does it take to make your own piggies?

Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

actual time to mod the cats is depedant on tools you have.. so say 2 hoursish

uninstall-reinstall DIY.. 6-10 hours ahhaha

i took my time over winter as my car was parked.. i'd say it took me about 4-5 hours to remove them taking my time

and probably 1 hour to reinstall both of them.. once you learn the angles,etc its very easy to do yourself

i had a shop fully gut my downpipes so i am running test piggies.. and i put nonfoulers in the rear and they are working 100% with no CEL

Re: s4 exhaust group buy.

awesome, i have access to air tools and what not, in not to concerned about gutting as that shouldn't be to hard, i just know on the auto's its a nightmare to get the DP's off.

Well, almost. VAST uses new joints, and fresh cats and pre-cats if yours are banged up.

just saw they have been sent out, he sent me the fedex # to track it, also he said he would get them to put "gift" on all the canadaian orders (after i asked him about 10 times haha) so hopefully we dont have to pay brokerage fees!
