I hope you like the 200 20v with the V8 front clip. Thanks go out to Ben Swann for helping with the chip and turbo upgrades, Ron in Mass for selling me the clip which has now been on two cars in the past year and Steve Ankney for the referral to Lakeside wheel for the RS4s. Let's hope we can keep the rubber side down on this one.

Very nice. Dual exhaust?

Bigstauf

Thanks! While getting rid of the 80lbs of mid-muffler I realised that the exhaust is actually dual all the way back from the downpipe. So we ran dual 18"x4" round mufflers for the mid-muffler and dual 6" x 9"x 16" for the final mufflers. The bumper was from the original 200 but Ben Swann and I cut a spare bumper to splice in the rt side. The dual stainless resonator tips were from an old groupbuy years ago.

that is very nice indeed.

Looking good.

How does that work out? Isn't there just one outlet from the exhaust side of the turbo? Is the other down pipe from the waste gate? What you have done looks so good I'm really curious.

Bigstauf

Thanks! I'll be trying to add some details about the mods done so far. Front brake and suspension conversion using 97 A6 sub-assembly, Ben Swann custom chips for the 20V with 2.5 pressure transducer. We use my LM-1 from InnovateMotorsports with the Aux Box to datalog boost, inj cycle, timing, O2 reading and critical temperatures to tune with the custom turbo from Charles at Evergreen Turbos in Fla.

Thanks again Steve. The folks at Lakeside Wheel were fast and I really like the Kumho Ecsta ASX tires at 235/45-17. I think the Chrome sets off the black with clearcoat but then again... I'm a bling hound!!

As I mentioned earlier, the 20V the wastegate tube dumps to the downpipe but from there the system is dual. Dual cats, dual pipes thru mid-resonator and muffler too.
I'll try to snap a pic from underneath in the next week or so when I do some rear brake maintenance.

That's very interesting.
