Better check the facts first. A 3" kills the torque and doesn't give much HP on top. On an A3 the larger pipe actually works worse than a 2.5" because of the power it takes to push the exhaust air mass down the pipe. That's why they call them "tuned" exhausts.

I won't buy any 'perfromance' parts unless somebody can show me the pulls and prove it works.

agreed. seems to be the concensus
