Thank you!

As stated in my first post, I went through quite a few exhaust setups until I found something I REALLY enjoyed.

What a quality build. Kudos. Those welds are of perfection and the sound you created is, too.

And the best part about it is that it costs about the same (slightly cheaper) than a full brand new Super Sprint setup.

That sounds absolutely AMAZING in the videos.

The desire for valved exhausts has been a hot topic on audizine for the S4 guys. Going to link to this thread and hope it motivates some production

Great! I appreciate it! I have a B8 S5 too and I am going to do a cutout dump valve before the muffler as well. The V8 sound is orgasmic!

Here is a link to my thread with a video of the exhaust setup as it sits:

P.S. Send me a link to the Audizine thread when you get a chance.

www.fluidmotorunion.com if you're interested in getting into contact with the shop to create your own mid-pipe setup. Orignal post was also updated. They tackle a lot of custom welding projects that many others will not or have the expertise to.

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it! Can't believe more people haven't commented.

Did you ever dyno before and after to see for any gains or losses?

Aside from the pure sound, how does the car actually feel now? Everything I've read and seen shows massive loss of low end torque, much like BW's 3.5 race exhaust, but gains are to be had up top.

Unfortunately I do not have dynos before and after.

The car just feels like it "flows" better. That 'puny' rattle that the M3 is known for is gone, which leaves just a pure aggressive grunt. Now, with the dump valve open, you can feel an immediate decrease in power in the low end. I never drive with it open anyways, it's just there for the 'cool' factor. I honestly didn't feel a loss in power going from my old Super Sprint midpipe setup to this 3.5" single midpipe.

I have a friend who got a similar exhaust made by FMU. Only difference is that he didn't want it to be so loud so he had them install 2 resonators and since he is NA, his midpipe is only 3" rather than 3.5".

Here is the build thread:

It's the Vorsteiner GTS-3 Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser. You can get it form Europeanautosource or ModBargains.

Original post updated with dyno information and whatnot due to the fact of all the messages I get asking the same thing.
