Centre crossflow box removal

[Quattrodave]

Afternoon all,

I thought today I would treat myself and my 4.2 FSi V8 A8 to a centre box removal.

I took the car to my local powerflow centre (which I used for my UR quattro with very good results) and told them what I wanted which was more of the V8 throaty rumble to be unleashed but not at the detriment to motorway speed drone.

90 mins later I had this in place of my crossflow box (which is now available should anyone need one):



So far I'm very happy with the results, only the smallest amount louder at idle but as soon as you blip the throttle the exhaust tone comes to life & there's a much nicer sound under load in lower gears.

I have a feeling I'll be downsizing the rear boxes in a few months time to liberate a bit more of the idle burble that I'm looking for but for now I'm happy.

All done for £180!

Amazed that the car came with 5 silencers!
