I've built a couple 3" systems for the 5KCSTQs and the performance is 
incredible.   I'd highly recommend it if you can swing it.  Scorpion 
isn't bad for the money, but don't expect it to fit.  There are enough 
differences between the Euro-spec and US-spec cars that the Scorpion 
systems don't fit well.

I wouldn't worry about the aluminized steel.  It will last probably as 
long as you own the car if you're fairly typical.  Stainless will add a 
huge premium to the price.   If you can afford, it, SS will definitely 
give you a superior product though.

I doubt that they can use a template to build full 3" systems for the 
Audis since there just isn't enough room.  Even building it on the car, 
it is tough to make it fit and work without knocking on the chassis.

Check out some local shops that have mandrel tube bending equipment.  If 
they don't know what that is, go on to the next shop.

No Audis!  :-(
Yet!  :-)
