BeardFour Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, first ever post on this site. I bought a 2004 A3 quattro sport 3.2 v6 a month ago. It came with a powerflow exaust which sounds awesome on hard acceleration but between 2 and 3k revs produces god awful droning in the cabin which ive decided I cant live with. The local powerflow garage has said there isnt enough space underneath for anti-resonance pipe-work and suggested that I replace the mid box with an original. Anyone got any experience of this? Can anyone recomend who where to get an original mid section exhaiust for athe v6? Thanks in advance Edited February 16, 2016 by BeardFour Additional info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yes it would either be a case of add in a mid section or change the complete exhaust. Have you looked on eBay for a standard exhaust to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardFour Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks James, Might be showing my ignorance here - I have been looking but I assume because the v6 has twin cat I need the standard v6 exhaust mid box? eBay doenst seem to be that specific but i'll keep looking.

James Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yes you would need the standard v6 exhaust, unless any other versions feature the same box you are trying to use but I'm not sure. Easiest bet would be just to get the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirky_S3 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Have you looked at bcs powervalve as an option ? I have one on my S3 and while it's expensive the build quality is fantastic and you get 0 drone while jn hard acceleration it's sounds awsome best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardFour Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just to update, I bought a stock exhaust on eBay and got it fitted for £60. I miss some of the noise but I haven't had a headache for weeks! :) Thanks for the help. And if anyone want to buy a 2nd hand Powerflow exaust - let me know! Actually, is there a dedicated page in this forum for buying/selling parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi Carl, That's great news and definitely a bargain at £60! With regards to the for sale section, yes there is and it looks you've already found it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
