[urq] Urq stainless exhaust idea

[craigcook at rogers.com]

Hi Ben,

Yes a coupe one is in the works also.

The problem with the coupe/ 4000q system is that the tailpipes come out at a different point
on the rear valence, and there is also a slight hanger location difference.. This makes it difficult to get the twin tailpipes to work the way I want them to, due to the pipes hitting the floor hump.

I will be taking on the challenge to make a nice 3" system for the coupe/ sedan cars. There will have to be some slight changes made from the urq system to make it fit satisfactory.
My plan is to perfect the urq system first.Once that's done I don't see the Type 89 system being too far behind.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Craig.

[urq] Urq stainless exhaust idea 
Craig, 
Would you be intereste in doing one for the later Coupe Quattro?  Done alal 20V turbo of course! 
I had in mind a dual system, but channeling the twin cat into a single 3" or going outright to single 3" might be an easier way to go and just as effective.
Layout for the single system would be nearly identical to the UrQ if going single.

Hi Steve, 
Sorry for the late reply. 
No negative comments at all. All positive comments in my opinion. 
Steve, this exhaust is mainly aimed at the performance guys.  I intend to make the system as bearable as possible in terms of noise, and drone.
It's kind of a different market as opposed to the URS4 guys. 
However, 3" over the axle is very hard to do. You wouldn't believe how close the tolerances are. 
I'm even going to be including new exhaust hangers in the kit to compensate for sagging hangers. 
The  clearance between the subframe and floor is that tight. 
I easily have 40  or more  hours into this system, just for over the axle  fitment alone. 
I can  now see why not so many company's offer this diameter of exhaust for the small chassis Audi's. 
I have a similar system on my 4000q, it's a MC1, chipped running a stock urq downpipe and K26 turbo. I'm happy with the sound, however it is  a  little more aggressive than a stock system in terms of sound. For me the sound is brilliant,  obviously I'm going to be more biased that way, seeing as I'm trying to sell these systems.
Now factor a catalytic converter and a K24 turbo, for the stock 20v guys and I.m pretty confident that the noise would be allot quieter.
Factor in a Garrett GT 30 turbo and 20 psi and now you have my attention. 
This is the kind of customer I'm targeting. 
My good friend Mike Hopton had agreed to let me use his 10v urq and 20v urq for testing purposes. 
I may even post system decibel readings, while comparing them to a stock car. 
I hope this helps. 
Cheers, 
Craig.]
