decat

Hi all! I was just wondering if it's possible to make an s3 crackle pop, at all? I've got a full decat and induction kit, so essentially there's no issue in terms of air flow and muffling of sounds. I was just wondering if it's at all possible as the face lift does it? is there a difference...

Has anyone tried removing the downpipe on their 3.0 TDI? On Monday/Tues I plan to unbolt mine and take it off the car. I hope to cut open and gut the cats. Mine is the 2007 non-DPF version. I imagine it's a pain in the balls to get into. Can anyone offer any wisdom or guides for the job? Thanks P
