Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick but how can that fit any V10 when it only has one downpipe connection? The V10 has FOUR cats going into two pipes?

I'll be joining the club tomorrow
Picking up a C6 V10

Is there any other suppliers of exhausts apart from Milltek, Magnoflow ?

I've checked with the seller and he assures me it came off an S6. I'll stick mine on the Ramos this weekend and have a better look at my existing one.

Yeah get some pics up. I think most bespoke exhaust place can build a system. You'll have to go off recommendations though as you're at the mercy of the person building your system. It's easy to get a system that's too loud, boomy or one that drones at certain revs.

There's a video clip of my custom system earlier in this thread.

GREAT value for money, and transformed my enjoyment of the car.

Very nice.

Factory window tints?

The rear looks soooo much better than my early model.

What's it got in the way of options?

iPod connectivity is a simple one, just costs a few £.

I installed the Audi AMI in place of the 6 CD changer in the glove box.

A how to guide here:

This is for MMi 2G, I think yours is 3G, so a different install, sure someone else will be along shortly to advise.

Found this on eBay if it is 3G: 121586736737

I use one of these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ViseeO-Tune2air-WMA1000-ca...

It's streams music from phone via Bluetooth, to save me opening the glove box every time and plugging it in.

I use TuneIn on my phone, you get no functionality tough AMI, but set up the phone, and the system will play whatever your phone does.

In terms of video, the 2G doesn't allow it, although various add ons can be bought to do this.

I have AV inputs somewhere, according to MMI, but no idea how to access them or use them.

Rufmeister, I've just read your other post regards adding AMI. Which part would I need to add it to my S6. I presume I'm running 2G MMI High. Is it just the cable that's around £7 on EBay?

If only it was the cable!!

You need this: 111619618284

It's honestly a 2 minute job, pop out the CD unit, unplug, plug AMI in, and click it in, away you go.

The lead plugs into the AMI unit, lads of different leads available, USB etc, so depends on your phone.

I find the bluetooth adapter perfect for iPhone, can listen to TuneIn or whatever, and still have phone to hand for any other bits you need, when not driving.

Have either of you done anything with exhaust
I get a custom one made up for 1k bur I'm not after masses of sound.

Just unsure whether the removal of resonators will be enough obviously keeping the dreaded drone away

I will purchase the dangle previously mentioned seems like a neat solution what's the quality like of the music ?

http://vid23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/h20ruf/IMG_0499.mp4 That's mine, under £300, custom back boxes using the standard tailipes.

Enough to retain the q car look and noise, until you hit the throttle.

Sound quality through AMI is perfectly acceptable, but I'm no audiophile.

Any more details with relation to the back boxes
Type and size etc and say just the boxes only

Could I go to longlife exhausts or the like as I'd like to have an idea if what I'm going for
