Hello all im a newbie here but im hoping you guys can help me out ,

ive did a search for ssautochrome and have found posts of both a positive nature and a negative nature regarding theyre exhaust systems for the FC3S


i am thinking of buying the system for my car (s5 turbo 2 ) but before i do i am hoping you guys can help me out on whether or not to bother with it i am from the uk so on top of the price of the exhaust im having to pay an additional 185 dollars for shipping (101 pounds sterling)

I haven't installed mine yet.......so I dunno......i will go install it right now......i'm bored......I paid 240 bux......so I'm not expecting super high quality......but it will be better than my current exhaust....supposedly 2.5" but it is 2 1/4 inches and it shrinks down to 2 inches at the bends)

BUY IT!!!!!!! I also have the SS Autochrome "Super Turbo Back" exhaust for my 88T2 and holy **** is this thing QUALITY!!!!! i paid $270 for mine shipped to my door, it is fully stainless steel and has a mirror reflection, it is awesome. the sound is very deep at idle and gets pretty loud at WOT and no rasp at all. you will not find a better deal than the SS Autochrome exhaust.

yes......I was surprised when I found out it was the exhaust ......The box was light as hell and it sounds soooooo good at WOT!!!I just came from driving. So take the stock exhaust and put it in a box and try to lift it........if you can do it effortlessly then screw the SS Autochrome......(i know it won't be)...
