quite disappointed. glad i read up on this b4 purchasing it.
<center><img src="http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/3781/im000436yn7.jpg"></center><p>after reading through Vortex over the past weekend (buying my exhaust system next week) i was intrested in buying the 3" GHL exhaust. well unfortuantly i came accross an article talking about just this system. and if you see the picture above you understand that this system is a rip-off. the catback part of this system "claims" to be 3" but it really is only 2.5" which takes away a significant horsepower gain taht can be obtained from a full 3" system.

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.
