Next I'm thinking off ripping off the milly quads and replacing with something a little more subtle. Need a new rear valance, paint and a zorst so this phase doesn't come cheap  :sad1:


....Just an idea which might be a bit cheaper: Replace just the back box with black satin ceramic coated tips and angle-cut - Like mine. They're less in yer face.


Not a bad suggestion there....I was pretty set on going back to twin (actually even just oem zorst) as modding for increased bhp is not really what I'm after.  It is a big expense though with ed30/r32 rears flying off the shelves at over £200 (even second hand), then paint (£150) then if I keep quads and have the r32 rear a suitable 4 outlet insert. 

I'm probably better just getting an oem rear valance and zorst and painting the insert black. Cheapest option, plus I may be able to sell off my quad milltek and recoup some costs. Decisions decisions :-)

I assume you already know that the oem R32 rear has cut-outs which allow for all the exhaust configurations: twin, quad, central. You'd just need the appropriate exhaust trim (lower section).

Yeps but when last I looked the exhaust trim options were limited to carbon fibre and as a result quite expensive or are there cheaper versions now available?

I do remember someone on here was selling a cf trim for the quads a good while back but I've completely forgotten who.

No mods for the Lexus, but the RS3 will be going straight to REVO stage 2 as soon as I get my grubby hands on it. That is....

Intercooler
Stainless exhaust (may wait off on this if I can get hold of a rear bumper that will aloow a dual exit exhaust)
Intake
REVO.

Should give up well over 400 horsies :driver: :jumping:
Golf R gone.
