... and it turns out that altho Stratmosphere (the USA importer) does not list it on their web site, they DO have them in stock for A/S8 .. duh, nice way to not sell any!
Greg at Stratmosphere quoted $1499 for the whole cat-back setup in stainless for A/S8. Shipping was quoted in my case at $25
I'm considering it.

From Milltek's page ---- They generically claim 8 to 10% hp increase, which sounds reasonable.
This is everything they have on their web page ... you could always call or write them and ask. That guy Greg at Stratmosphere got back to me within 3 minutes.

Boulder_CO_S8 has it; you might check with him about power increase; I agree that...
...it sounds beautiful. I took a ride with Todd after he installed his, and it was perfect: not much different at idle, quite aggressive under hard throttle, and then settling back to a nice burble at cruise. Made me think of the sound my '67 Firebird 400 convertible made crossing Florida at 90 at 4 a.m. after sex on the beach with Lisa O all those nights in the summer of 1980. Where have you gone, Lisa? Wait, that's a different forum, isn't it? Sorry, lads.

There are many generic x-pipes ... some very well executed. 12hp boost over H pipe on the dyno.
The S4 at the event had an X pipe with his Milltek, but he didn't install the systems, the previous owner did. I am not certain they supply one. It is on my list of things to ask tho.

MagnaFlow makes a beautiful stamped piece that looks like a really well-smoothed intake manifold.
It's actually the same piece I mentioned that produced a 12hp advantage over an H pipe on a dyno during a Car Craft buildup of a 5.0L Ford engine.
