Default Why no brand name place to have my cats cut? Should I try and find a custom exhaust

shop to do it? I have a feeling they're going to charge a lot more to do it..

Default No local Audi shops around here : ( I know Dave mentioned a good shop in Naperville, but I'm

not sure if I want to drive that far. I'd consider having one of my teachers at school do it, but I think the Summer semester is already over.

Default Downpipes are 2.5", and the (stock) catback setup is 2.25". What I'd have to do is have a

shop install pieces of 2.25" pipe, then expand one end of each to meet up with the downpipes.

Default WHY would you consider cutting your cats out. They are there for a reason.

Do you WANT to pollute more? Would you like it if somebody went and peed on YOUR lawn? Just a few questions for you to consider before putting more crap into the atmosphere.

Good luck - I hope your CEL issues resolve themselves without resorting to drastic measures. It it's any help, I recently heard a nasty noise coming from the same area and it turned out to be a corroded exhaust flange. $70 part made the noise & problem go away.

Default Of course I know that I would be polluting more. But I don't have the money for OEM cats, and

universal cats are useless.

Removing any emissions or safety equipment is illegal. No shop will touch that work.
