Well each to their ownI think you will find any more than say £100 are taking the **** there's nothing to it and hardly any stainless used!

I'm interested in doing this to mine. Can anyone recommend a place in the North West (Manchester pref)? I've heard of the powervalve anti-drone pipe but is it really worth the extra spondules? Had a full turbo back on my old Astra VXR so don't think my ears will be sensitive to drone?

I have the power-valve anti drone fitted and it's incredible. Car is totally silent inside when driving sensibly and when you want to throw it around a bit you get the whole experience of how the car should sound. Buy the pipe and spend the extra cash. It's a 20 minute fitting job.
had mine done today at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pipecraft-Essex/158975347483016 they come highly reccomended and did mine in less than an hour. Really not alot involved at all, cut out the box and put some stainless pipe in its place, as long as you can get the car up high enough then its very easy, Had mine welded on.
Got to say as others have pointed out, it sounds now as it should have done out of factory, i havent noticed any drone, still pretty silent in all, onyl in dynamic and sport does it sound lovely and got some really nice pops and bangs on the overun on sport mode.
defo worth it for gbp70
glad i found this thread.
yeah i really wasnt expecting much tbh, but its a win win really, pretty normal in comfort mode, sport and dynamic mode very differentGlad to see another happy member with the res delete, it really transforms the car.

Ive messaged @BCS Nige, I think he sells it.
I think you're right. £300 all in vs a £70 chop and weld at a local garage.. think I'll have to go with the latter. I'm sure the drone won't bother meYeah if you tell him you found out from this forum, you get a discount. He told me its £265.50 + £15.00 shipping, too much for me.

Where did you purchase the pipe from and how much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?
I pick my S3 up in September, and I'm looking to have it fitted in work (I work at Volkswagen) straight away
How do you find your local dealer?Just had the Res delete done at a local powerflow dealer. Cut the exhuast and welded in the straight pipe. Took no more than 30 or so minutes to do. All I have to say is wow it makes much much more of a difference to the sound than any video could do justice to. Literally transformed the car in a very very good way. Sounds deeper grumblier and fair bit louder. More than worth the £70 paid for. Anyone paying for a £300 ready made kit is wasting their money. In D mode you can't really tell a difference. In S mode the difference is huge.
I'm from the Wigan area would you be so kind to show me the exhaust when fitted? I'm 50/50 whether it's too over the top or not and I do around 25 miles on a motorway a day (at least) and I don't want to ruin that comfort.How do you find your local dealer?
Edit: Ignore me, I've just seen the "Dealers" bit on their website. Booked in tomorrow at 9am. They wouldn't give me a price but hoping it's £70-120 Can't wait!
Ofcourse - I'm living near Chester at the moment and booked in at the Birkenhead Powerflow dealer tomorrow.

Complete rubbish mate. Do a bit of research on backpressure on forced induction cars. If anything the car feels like it's gained a few bhp!So was that loss of power/torque thing rubbish?
Tempted to get mine done. I see you have a pfl like me. Did you have pops and bangs before?had mine done today at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pipecraft-Essex/158975347483016 they come highly reccomended and did mine in less than an hour.

Just an update. What can I say.. best £70 I've ever spent tbh. It sounds absolutely brilliant. The DSG farts are much lower and it crackles and pops much more. Anyone considering this, get it done! Haven't experienced any drone but I had much louder exhausts on my previous cars so probably tolerate it well. Couldnt stop smiling driving back from the garageOfcourse - I'm living near Chester at the moment and booked in at the Birkenhead Powerflow dealer tomorrow.
