Palmers Audi S8 - Project Waft
Discussion
Love a good muffler-ectomy. I bought my S6 (same engine) with a decat and no rear boxes and it sounded great.

Was too loud for daily duties though so I had two straight through boxes put back in the rear.
Bet you have a lovely clear V8 burble with the seperated center boxes.
Are your exhausts tips in the same position both sides? Looks like the left is further in than the right from the pics.

So my brembos finally turned up! Parcel force 48 hour my bobby hole!
Anyway, sent them in to my mechanic. The car was just chucked back together on the rear from the breakdown with some cheap ass pads to keep it running. This was what they looked like after 1 week!!
The bad news was that everything was siezed. I mean everything. He said it was the worst brake job hes ever done. The metal slide was pushed off square by corrosion so the pads where actually buckling and bowing under braking. Explains the creaky noises when braking. The old pads where hammered out and both callipers rebuilt top to bottom and greased etc.
One side stripped
All back together
It took 3 days. 3 days of swearing, drilling out siezed bolts and making stuff move that no longer did. Even stayed till 11pm to get the job done on the third day, now thats dedication!
