what are you running S4 or S5, if your running a S4(86-88) then you need the air tube from your cat to run your 5th and 6th ports.

I've got a pacesetter header, 2.5" main cat replacement pipe, and Corksport Power Series catback, on my S4 NA. Now the trick, if you have a S4, is to keep your smug pump and run your actuators off of that.

Their cats are good, but the race-pipe is kinda cheap. The flange on mine warped causing a major exhaust leak. Also, it doesn't reliably operate the aux ports with a large catback. The only one I know of that always opens them is the RB setup.
