First thing I noticed was the diameter of the pipes, this exhaust is at least 1/2 inch larger in diameter before and after the center resonator. The fit was perfect, all the hangers etc line up perfectly. I wanted to retain the factory look and pull one over on the service dept, so I'm very happy with the end result. Feels like there is less turbo lag, and a bit more throatiness up top.

Parts & labor cost pls ?

Got rear-ended, so the 02 bumper was free. Payed about 50 bucks for the lower trim piece, mounted myself. Got the S6 exhaust off of ebay for 100 bucks. Had to get it welded (80 bucks) back together and mounted for 60 bucks total.

Is the exhaust larger in diameter than the 4.2s?

Stoney

How did you attach it? Does it appear that it could be retrofitted to an older bumper cover?

Thanks...

AndrewWK

I don't know, I can tell you it's larger than an 01 2.7t's. I can measure if you like.

AndrewWK

It pushes into place with tabs at the top and places for screws around the bottom that secure it to the bumper. I'll post some good pics tomorrow. In the 01, the lower trim was part of the bumper and just unpainted.

I would say no. Not without considerable effort. I"ve still got my 01 bumper. I'll take a look at it tomorrow, but as I recall the bumper is very thin and flimsy at the bottom, so it would be hard to properly mount.
