Have anyone seen the kits they're selling at:

Basicly its an Y-split to put on your exhaust, witch you can open up by hitting a button.
That way you can run free exhaust, with less backpressure and accordingly more power!?
I've seen a guy on the vwvortex-forum running this with an APR s3 kit. gained about 10hp bypassing racecat and exhaust on a transverse...

The car IS LOUD. of course.

My question is:
Wont this be a bad thing!?
We need some backpressure from the exhaust for the engine to run properly?

98 A4 tq avant,
soon with big turbo ;)

Free exhaust = earlier spool = power.

it lasted a couple of days. Sent it back for a rebuild and it lasted a couple of days once again. The idea is great and when it worked, it worked great but the turbo charged engine is harder on them than a normally aspirated engine. Banks power has an exhaust break system that has a better design but good luck finding room for that type of system under our cars, in fact I did not have much room at all for the one I installed.

a turbo exhaust outlet needs a funnel of sorts to expand, you can't just open it out to the air.

Besides, I've read all the posts about people who say they lost low-end torque, but it was all butt-o-meters. No one actually proved they lost torque, and no one proved that it wasn't the ECU doing something funky.

as long as you keep it at stock boost levels :)

and while doing this he lost alot of tq. For the track he said the best setup was a straight thru 3", but I am sure that was to gain the most top end without losing too much tq.

Especially having dealt with Scott a few times.
