If there was a 4wd petrol version I would definitely have waited and got it. I knew it would struggle with 300+ through the front wheels, I only got mine mapped in November though so haven't had any dry days to fully appreciate it yet. Considering an LSD, but waiting to hear a bit about other peoples experiences in my other thread. 4WD conversion would be nice I was considering an S4 when I bought this, but it would have been older with more mileage, and more expensive to run, also boot is tiny on the saloon, so went for the sensible option instead.

That might explain it then actually, the car park would be "off road" so when leaving it I am effectively entering the UK again

Which one did you go for ? How much did it cost inc fitting? Who fitted it ? How have you found it compared to before ?

333 thats good, I had stage 2 with full custom stainless exhaust and sports cat and silicon turbo inlet pipe, running on 99RON fuel hit 320 on the rollers. What power output did yours show before the remap ? Think from memory mine was 235 (that was with the exhaust and intake fitted obviously) How are you finding the power in the wet ? Can't put my foot down in 2nd, and have to be careful in 3rd As for the OP, I have a bit of a woosh noise in lower gears coming off boost now, I just assumed it was normal due to the higher boost we are running.

I seem to only get this when pulling out of the car park after dropping my daughter off at school. Anyone else seen this ? It pops up for about 30ish seconds then disappears again.

Nope, its owned outright Any idea on value ? I imagine the Cat will have more value than the rest of the exhaust Im in Derbyshire, probably 2/3 hours away, but then you are probably 2/3 hours away from anywhere (in the middle of nowhere) Don't think I'll be posting it. It's surely got to be worth more than scrap value ? I don't mind hanging on to it until after Christmas to be fair

Had a full S/S turbo-back fitted. Wondering how much the original CAT, centre silencer and twin rear silencers off my MK3 petrol VRS are worth. Car has done 52k so exhaust is in decent nick still.

we agreed on £50 extra instead of £100 Exhaust was WAY too loud, went from the standard exhaust to sports cat and 3" system through to a single silencer. I drove off and within a mile and a half I took it back, they added a resonator. Then I drove home, its awful to be honest, the cabin noise is really loud at certain revs, particularly around 1800 - 2200, which is the exact rev range 70mph in 6th puts you at. and also most town driving due to the car having the DSG box I was either doing 80+ or driving in 5th most of the way home. I think the actual issue in the first place may not have been the exhaust being too loud, just the cabin noise. Its now booked in to be looked at the week after next, i think they are going to swap the single backbox for twin ones like the original system. (not 100% sure on that though)

Currently sat in Wetherspoons waiting for the exhaust to be fitted. Arrived there this morning at 8am as instructed and Tony (who I spoke to previously) wasn't there but the guy fitting the exhaust said it had been written down as a decat, I explained I had been quoted £850 including sports cat and now he is saying that is wrong, it would normally be over £1000 for that and he is going to have to charge me £950. Bit annoyed to be honest, no proof of what was quoted as stupidly I didn't get him to email me the quoted price

Booked in with Tony Banks in October(the earliest they could do it) Initially when I asked that said it wouldn't be mandrel bent, but when he called back (after speaking to his octavia expert) said it would be mandrel bent. £850 all in for full system including sports cat and downpipe Car will be in there all day, so i just need to find a way to kill 8 hours in Leeds now.

more power (booked in to get it mapped) More noise (currently looking at exhausts( AWD, it struggles in the wet with 220, gonna be a handful with over 300

Get them to refurb them in full anthracite without the diamond cut face. They look so much better. Imo of course

Looking for a place to get a new exhaust fabbed/fitted. It seems that getting a custom exhaust fitted will be cheaper than going for the likes of scorpion / Miltek etc. Any recommendations around the midlands ? So far have quotes from JP Exhausts in Congleton (most expensive) John Ashley Walsall (recommended completely removing rear silencers which sounds odd to me) K'Ford Tyres in Kingswinford (doesn't do downpipes/ sports cat, so would probably work out more expensive to buy a scorpion/Miltek etc and have them fit it for me) Also MIJ in Walsall but heard some bad things about the quality of work down there.
