Re: Revenge of the GERMAN Audi!

["Stefan Bendevis" <audiman@sprint.ca>]

Fellow Audi fanatic,
    All that I did was take the car to a local exhaust shop and told them
what I wanted.  From what I can see, all they did was make an adapter pipe
to change from 2.25" to 3".  I feel that the engine pulls a little better at
higher rpm's, the turbo seems to spool up faster too.  But most of all, I
like the sound (nice deep exhaust note).  If I could get enough money
together, I would probably get Graydon's 3" downpipe.  This job cost me $720
cdn. using 14 guage aluminized pipe and welding the system together (one
piece cat back).

Stefan Bendevis, audiman@sprint.ca
1987 5000 CD Quattro (1.8 bar QLCC, 3" exhaust including cat but not
downpipe, soon to have H&R springs when I can find shocks to match)
