    OEM Cat Replacement

    Isn't it more expensive to replace the cat? I would just cut it out and switch off the Lambda sensor via mapping. Remember that you don't have to do any performance mapping (you want to keep car OEM). Alternatively installing a mini cat cat fooler is also a choice Sent from my SM-G998B using...

    Jerk on inclines

    Sportback My 8V1 RS3 - Rommies

    Leyo Motorsport Intake fitted to the RS3 I'm not really concerned about any power increase (i believe there is) but I did this purely for the improved intake noises.
