As title says guys, where can I buy the resonator delete kit in the UK?
 
You don't need a kit, any decent exhaust fabrication shop can do this for you.

Check out if you have a Powerflow franchise near you (Google them) :racer:
 
I thought there was an Audi accessory (approved) version of this that an Audi garage should be able to supply - maybe I'm getting mixed up and it's U.S only ?

It is US only, I asked Audi. They said that because it's a US only part they can't get it into stock and even if I went to great expense to get it, they can't fit it because it isn't something they have supplied and basically it still wouldn't 100% guarantee your warranty as it's not UK legal apparently.

The official title is a Res Delete Kit that's why I said 'kit' :p

From what I've heard it maintains your warranty if you get an OEM one. Guys in the US haven't had a problem. Of course that's the US..

I'm not aware of Audi pulling any warranty issues with a modified exhaust - at least l hope not, my resonators and centre box have been deleted..... by a Poweflow dealer!

I may be wrong, but lm not aware of any Audi OEM delete kits. :racer:

I phoned Glasgow Audi a while ago and enquired about this, if my memory serves me right they said the same as above, due to it being a US part they couldn't order me one nor fit it if I was to acquire one from the US

Know a few people have went to a local fabrication shop (which is beside Audi) and had there's cut out and a new straight pipe welded in, only £70 aswell

The US/Canadian resonator delete pipe is an Audi part, manufactured in Europe, and does not affect your warranty. The only possible issue I can see for UK installations would be EU noise regulations and I would find that hard to believe with the new RS3 exhaust system being legal.
One issue to be aware of is drone @ 2.500-3,500 rpm with this mod. There is a thread/post on this site with a UK based manufacturer with a resonator delete pipe and drone eliminator for sale.
Any dealer telling you it will affect your warranty is full of you know what.
