    A3 N/a 1.8 HELP

    Okay. Sorry if these are already answered but I can't find the answers anywhere. I want better brakes, and an exhaust. Also, really confused about the headunit deal with these. I've read plenty about double din units, but haven't really found a thread where someone has put in a normal...

    Catalytic converter rattle
