It is indeed. My job means I can't have anything remotely silly so I'm hoping this will just give it a slightly louder but completely OEM seeming exhaust note while still being usable for long trips on the motorway etc.

Brilliant. Please keep us updated with the fitment & end results :cool:
I'm seriously interested in this upgrade myself.

Purchased a set of Belvedere alloys for my winter set up, used for 6k miles and even got a set of Clubsport centre caps with them  :smiley:

Hopefully get the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance +'s onto them next week at some point.

Came across this video of a GTI to TCR exhaust on the 7.5, needless to say I think I might end up going this route next year.

I normally wouldn’t post about washing my car but for nearly the last year I have had no driveway to wash my car properly as I have been renting, waiting for a house to be built. Today I spent a few hours with Bilt Hamber Auto Foam, followed by Meguiar’s Ultimate Wash and Wax then Stjarnagloss Bublor.

The car looks super shiny Ceefeesh  :cool:
Did I read that right, you used a double helping of shampoo? Is there a reason for that?
It certainly seems to have had a good result.

Now get those Reifnitz bolted on!

The car hadn’t been thoroughly washed for nearly a year so I thought it needed ‘decontaminated’ Meguiar’s usually gives a good lustre that lasts for quite a while. I washed the car with Meguiar’s then started again with the Stjarnagloss Bublor because it does leave it very shiny.
I need to get the Reifnitz on soon and when I do I’ll post pics. Their colour is given as full gunmetal and I’m unsure if they match or clash with the Indium.
