Hi everyone,

Nice job on the redesign guys, it looks great!

My question - will an Avantgarde 1.8TQ exhaust fit on a 2.8Q, and will it adversely affect performance? I have a feeling from comparing the 1.8 and 2.8 Quattro mufflers made by Scorpion that they're the exact same muffler unit, therefore i'm guessing that the ones from other aftermarket manufacturers will be similar (since their power outputs from the 1.8 and 2.8 are roughly similar). I might have an opportunity to pick one up, that's why i'm asking...thanks!

My Remus fits 1.8tq and 2.8q cars.. says so right on the muffler... Of course it *is* just the rear muff, so I'm not sure about the rest of the exhaust...

By the way, it's for sale..in the classifieds...

They are the same. The real restriction is the resonator and the pipe diameter.

The Remus is sold in two ways....quattro ...or non-quattro...Which means the 2.8 and
1.8T can share the rear muffler as long as they are both quattro...or not quattro.
