The 3 inch system I had on my A3 was $1600. A downpipe would be around half the cost on it's own.
I don't see anywhere doing one for $500, except for a mate.

but what about all the peeps on here who've alluded to getting custom 2.5inch mandrel dumps for $500 or less? i can recall a few folks saying they got theirs for between $350-$450...
Who did??? cant see u getting anything around that mark, agreed Gav. Keep an eye on the exchange rate and maybe word up Blueflame in he UK.Ive done a full system turbo back on a high horse TT and was very reasonable landed,ill check the cost, Ian Birch of Blueflame was The Man an Dubsport back in the day, of twin engine dub fame. ill word up a couple of dudes back home.

jmac- i cant be too sure who it was- maybe whubbsie or noone? if anyone wants to pipe up it'll help as i could swear i've seen people come in under 500 (dump pipe only).
i think someone may have alluded to muffler man in melbourne, and getting away for less than that with mild steel.
empty post, i know, but it was a while ago and i swear i swear i swear (for the custom-made non-apr-or-milltek boys).
I'll happily pipe up (boom, tish!)
First, I had a flow test done on the stock system. This found that the most restrictive part of the exhaust is from the turbo to the cat, ie, around the bend. Based on this, my fabricator built a 3" pipe from turbo to cat, and retained the stock cat, which flows fine for the KO3. This gave me a good additional 12KwATW, as measured on two dynos. It cost me well less than $600. I posted a thread on this a couple of years ago. I can't imagine prices will have moved much further in that time. The fabricator has a great reputation in Canberra and used quality steel (not stainless though, unnecessary)
Read all about it!

yeah i quite enjoyed the 3'' or not to 3'' thread. cheers timbo! this is pretty much what i'll be looking at doing- cant decide between 2.5'' and 3'', but either way, that, and mufflerectomotomy.
cheers!
just the dump. I had my muffler tips changed a while back, but thats just for looks.
Sounds like CC. I may go down that path myself, I believe you need the Seat intake / pod filter to do this, also the TIP and FMIC are recomended... From memory.
I was reading on the Autospeed website about getting a 2nd hand one from a XR6T or something similar. Free flowing design and a fraction of the cost of a new hiflow one (assuming it fits).
