just ordered some mandrel bent "true bendz" high flow cat pipes....they just released them last week and i stumbled upon the site so i pulled the trigger.
Tried to negotiate a group buy to drop price but they didn't bite ;/

I am thinking as well. You go with the stainless steel?

Fweasel - yea i just stumbled on them and called and they just released the website, haha no photos or nothing. I don't want long tubes and high flo cats for $$$ but the cats are the last piece of restriction on my exhaust in my opinion. Im running stock manifolds, stock 2.5" xpipe instead of resonator and spiral flo bullet mufflers.. Im also running a slightly overdriven 122 maggie so these pipes should respond well.
88BlackZ-51 - Im in California which is tricky on smog, I figure longtubes will not pass unless i make a deal with someone. Hi flo cat pipes I think may pass 50% of the time due to every smog tech questioning the blower sitting on top. I went with the cheap aluminized steel so hopefully they will show some wear and get ugly to fit the rest of the "stock" exhaust, haha.. I have bought full exhaust kits and long tubes in the past and its a lot of dough, I think the V has good flow and my money is better spent elsewhere.
So far I am in ~100$ for x-pipe, ~250$ for mufflers and tips, and now ~300$ on hi flow cat pipes. These prices are all installed as well.
Not the cheapest by all means but also not the most expensive, and my favorite part is it is different then most other V's.

I went with the partial kit as I already had a carbon DS stock length and I sourced an aluminum Cobra 8.8 from a salvage yard that I had rebuilt with 3.73 Ford Racing posi gears. I also bought the LPW racing cover new and machined whatever I needed off of it to clear the brackets.
So my CS "kit" included
-DS to 8.8 adapter
-1000hp full axles
-brackets, front diff bushings, new diff block.
I picked it all up during their black Friday sale last year.

Right... audi. Once an illiterate POS always an illiterate POS haha. keep your typical V1 attitude to yourself and maybe you won't be getting robbed. I slapped it on cause I had it lying around. and even though it resembles the audi emblem it reads dope. I pretty much sport a different sticker every month.
