Bigger #1

Been needing to get rid of some small single 2.25" piping in the center of my exhaust as well as the center muffler soooo finally took the time to redo it

Before

After

Bigger #2

Didnt get a chance to put it on tonight, wanted to get the hell out of the shop. Finally got the adaptor plate back from our machinest. 2.5" stock throttle body - gone, R32 3.25" - in!

Trying to get everything last little thing taken care of, going to hopefully get to the dyno next week!

Looking good hombre. Do they mass produce the backing plates for the R32 TB, I would think more people would be interested in that?

**Capt. Obvious** · 10-02-2008 05:54 PM

What good is the .:R throttle body gonna do? The opening for the intake manifold is still 2.5".

**AudiA4Turbo22** · 10-02-2008 05:56 PM

^^i think he's got a different intake manifold in mind no?

I am going to be selling the adaptor plates after I verify fitment and get the bolts needed. Issam nor 034 makes a plate for the R32 TB, only the 3" 24v VR6

It can be machined out larger, almost to 3" ID. The R32 is 3.25" OD so they will match up pretty close. I do plan to make my own intake mani but not right now, going to put the TB on the stock manifold for the time being

Its one of those things you can try when you have a running car

**AudiA4_20T** · 10-02-2008 06:00 PM

that cuts deep lol

**B6Lovin** · 10-02-2008 06:51 PM

glad to see that you've finally stepped up to an appropriately sized TB... now get crackin on that IM.

and you're still doing it wrong with that exhaust... you left all that extra piping in there!! it's SUPPOSED to look like this:

really though, you'll love the .:R32 TB. im positive that my TB and IM are pulling a few extra ponies out at the moment, even on such low boost. I can't wait to see the gains (as compared to other people's setups) later on

ninja edit --- i was seriously about to post up asking why the hell it was so much easier for you to make the bends to your mufflers... then i realized that you're missing a rear diff and axles bahaha.

What muffler is that?

**B6Lovin** · 10-02-2008 06:58 PM

same as shawn. maggy 14816 i believe

we just flared the beginning inside part, and the little neck on the back out to 3" before welding it on

That was my next question... no 3" mufflers with dual tips from maggy..

**absolutegtr** · 10-02-2008 07:01 PM

Must be nice to own your own shop ......

**dougyfresh** · 10-02-2008 07:01 PM

Shawn's missing a key ingredient under that car..... Rear Driveshaft!

hahaha

yeah, i wish there was - but we decided that it's no more of a restriction than any other muffler - especially being on the very end of the exhaust stream. since there's two channels through the muffler and it's a relatively smooth transition from 3" down to the dual 2.25 i think it's ok.

how we got it to 3" without splitting it -- i do not know lol

Has its perks

Usually Adrian (our badass tech) does the fab work and all of the big projects ... he was busy today though with another car so I got to do my own exhaust and had to learn to weld. Yea definitely not pretty but o well, its under the car

welding is fun shit. my buddies and I have been ganking all the scrap metal from work that we can and we're just welding it all together into one big... thing.

told our boss we were gonna put lights on it and use it as a christmas tree this winter hahaha

**AudiA4Turbo22** · 10-02-2008 07:22 PM

I feel like you need a smooth transition from that 3.25" TB to the 2.5" adapter plate, otherwise the flow would be really messed up in that area.

**G Men 08** · 10-02-2008 09:00 PM

haha i need to learn how to weld!

**pyro** · 10-02-2008 09:22 PM

shawn you need to come out to lutz performance tomorrow night...there is gonna be a huge showing, and a bit of competition for you. ;)

**SmokdOutA4** · 10-02-2008 11:28 PM

You know this because you asked me for one...not once but twice.

And both times I asked you, you didnt have one for the R (3.25") TB, only the VR 3" ...

**Wizard-of-OD** · 10-16-2008 06:28 PM

Maybe it was a mistake in communication but I am pretty sure I told you it was a custom order with 5-7 business day lead time @ 85US shipped/adapter plate.
Whatever the case good luck.

What kind of welder do you all use at your shop?

**PCYC** · 10-16-2008 08:29 PM

We have a MIG and a TIG, I did my exhaust with the MIG (and its the first thing Ive ever welded). Adrian's work looks a million times better

Good think its under the car!!!
