The twin-scroll flapper in the S4 exhaust manifold.

If you want one that's already deleted, I have one...

Drill it out, tap the manifold, put a stud in, and a nut on both sides, then weld the nuts to the bolt.

Or cut and take out the flapper and just weld it shut.

That's kinda why I was confused.

Why would you want to do that? Seems you would have a whole lot more to loose than gain.

You would do this if you port matched the turbo runners and if you want to remove the twin scroll system. I've done this mod with good results.
