Well I finally managed to find someone local, willing and reputable to make a new exhaust system for me (some of you may remember my cats started failing at the annual meet, indicated by an embarrassingly loud rattle, which got gradually worse).
So I went to Zaustworx in Darwen and asked for a "sporty but not too loud" system, with sports cats. The result is somewhat louder than I had in mind!

Sounds incredible but I think I'll probably go back to have it quietened a little ... once the fun wears off!
Price was £1,100 (inc cats), which was very reasonable I thought, especially considering Audi wanted nearly £2.5K for the cats alone (which are now NLA).
A few more photos ...
