    looks nice! those wheels suit the black mk4s well i think imo.

    i have no middle muffler, i noticed maybe a 5% diff in sound on my remus exhaust.. nothing really for mine
    What’s behind you doesn’t matter..

    Lookin good!

    It's illegal for us to remove our cat, but I deleted the middle muffler pretty quick also. RS4 wheels have always been a fav of mine.

    Thanks fpr the comments guys,

    For sound wise removing Centre resonator and CAT about 2% difference in sound, you can't actually really here a difference.

    As for the RS4 wheels thanks guys, i have been wanting to change the wheels for around 5 months or more but still have no concrete wheel idea that i want to go to.

    I used to Run a EuroSpec 2.5" turbo back exhaust system, it sounded great, it was a little annoying on long distance driving, but only reason i ended up removing it is it kept hitting the Rear Beam Axle. As the car is almost 70mm lower than standard or even more. It can get annoying the the constant metal tapping.

    Currently the car is on it's highest setting on the back suspension, so i think i may remove the adjustable suspension from the rear all together and just install a 40mm H&R Spring and then raise the front accordingly.
