Referencing this thread from last month, has anyone installed an 034 turbo back 

exhaust on a 200q20v?  It's designed for a  C4 S4/S6, which from the Stromung 

discussions has a different tailpipe location from the 200q20v but is otherwise 

close enough.  



Is the tailpipe location issue the same as with the Stromung, or does 034 have 

some sort of a 200q20v-specific exhaust that I can't find on their website?  

Robby's post sounds as if there might be a variation specifically for the 

200q20v.



The 034 tailpipes look like they are slipped over the dual outlets of the 

Magnaflow muffler and welded directly to the back plate of the muffler body.  If 

there isn't already an accomodation for the 200q20v then it would be cool to be 

able to get the exhaust without the tips welded on (I'd still like to have the 

tips).  I noticed in the pics that the welds for the tips don't appear to be 

quite as awesome-looking (or at least not like the tiny perfect bicycle frame 

style welds) at the closeup pics of the downpipe welds at the WG merge joint, 

for example, so maybe they are put on at the end (of the process that is, ha ha) 

or manually or something.



One more question, which maybe I'll find a answer better on Motorgeek, but with 

all the revisions to the Stromung system to elminate drone, how does the 034 

system fare for exhaust drone?  It just has just the one muffler at the end.  

The 034 system seems less expensive than the Stromung prices I'd heard from 

earlier group buys.



I'm curious at the moment because there's another round of Stromung group buy 

going around and I'm asking myself the question about whether I want one for a 

200q20v.  In upgrading a 200q20v, I prefer the mods to be transferrable to an 

urS-car in case I get one someday (and if I do that I'll want the tips to look 

as clean/original/unmodified as I can get them, but I'm thinking I can't have it 

both ways).  



Speaking of that, does anyone have any pics of an unmodified Stromung on a 

200q20v?  I know Taka had one on his car but he had extended the tips, and I 

don't recall seeing how that looked.



Thanks,



Kenneth

it 

is California legal. my guess is that they can use any cat with their exhaust - 

not just ones that will fit audi exhausts. hence the cats are cheaper."
