Default Jetex Exhaust

The exhaust on my car is getting very ropey.

has anyone got any experiance of this backbox?

I rather like the tail pipes and it should give me the nouises i want. I appreciate its not the same quality as a milltek and is only half the system - but its certainly a lot cheaper!

I assume the exhaust is upside down in the picture, else it tapers the wrong way on the tailpipes.

Lookes nice though

Although it is starting to sound a bit too raspy for me now so may start experimenting.

I would prefer to keep the stock tail pipes and have considered removing the box. I'm quite handy with the welder so had planned to split the box replace it with two bits of tube and put the box back together - so it looks stock but doesn't do anything. Problem is my existing system is quite knackered I think and I have a REALLY bad rattle that comes and goes - probably the cats but they look pretty new so I'm going the system first.

Currently trying to source a good condition centre section. Are a8 4.2 and s8 exhausts the same except the tip?

You sir, have hit the nail on the head with that idea

The size of the stock rear silencer balances the rear of the car out, and all the aftermarket silencers look too small.

Seriously, let us know how you get on with that mod and if you are happy with it, I may take a trip over to see you for the same thing to be carried out!

A8 4.2 and S8 exhausts are different as I recently found out. Looking forward to this KK. Try and do it before Audis in the park and come show us on Sunday

whats the difference between a 4.2 A8 exhaust and an S8 exhaust? im litterally about to order a second hand A8 exhaust (standard cat back) as a temporary thing and to buy me some time to cut my S8 exhaust about and repair it.
