Exhaust questions - 1.8t

Yeah you have to be careful. I think the 2.5" APR but the 3" definatly doesn't. Check part numbers lots! But if it was me i'd just get a custom made 3" DP as it will be half the price then get a nice cat back.

just checked here APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW and Porsche Vehicles.
they only list the 2.5" one (which is probably why), and that is part number CD100001, which is the same as the 2.5" on ECS.
so yeah i'd say you're right about it. (as long as the downpipe in the full 2.5" system is the same as the one they sell individually)
Any way our friendly mods doing the group buy are gonna check it out for me.
And i'm gonna get the billy boat one (which is apparantly just the rebranded APR one without the markup), complete turbo back for USD$753+shipping+taxes+duties (am getting it in the group buy)

Yep. There certainly isn't anything wrong with buying of the shelf from america. I got my APR 2.5" cat back from ECS for $1000AU to the door compared to $2000AU from an Aus dealer. Luckily the APR 2.5" DP was already on my car when I bought it so I didn't need to buy one myself. I can vouch for ECS too, they happened to send me a 3" downpipe by mistake but they paid for the postage to get it back and get the right one sent back out to me.
You can't go wrong with a Billy Boat for that price!
