[urq] Exhaust system for Ur Quattro

[Ben Swann]

I received this nice system from Paul Fernandez (custom-auto-craft.com in the UK).  It is not just a rear muffler, but a work of art.  It is a 2.5" I.D. muffler and piping  - polished stainless steel - beautiful. 

Now I need to either source or build a 2.5" or even a 3" mid section - between the cat and the rear section.  Any good sources on this?

I'm wondering how restrictive 2.5" would be and how bad the stock cat impedes flow.  I measured the existing mid-section and that was 2" I.D. so expect an improvement.  I don't like to mess with removing the cat, but perhaps there is a freer flowing unit that I ought to install.  Since I am building what is hoped to be a respectable engine for the car with expected output over 300HP, I need to keep this in mind.

Perhaps sourcing and fabbing the center section may be the way to go - I do fairly well with a MIG and it does not have to be very pretty.  If there is something available in the 2-300 range that is bolt on stainless, however probably not worth my time to fab.
 
So what is everyone else doing replacement wise?

Ben

  you can try custom-auto-craft.com.  i got mine from ebay for $275.  it was only the rear section, but with the resonator cut out, it still sounded nice.

    Awhile back I recall seeing an exhaust system made for UrQ from a fellow in GB. Anyone have contact info.

    Any other recommendations for system replacement/upgrade.
