looks good mate. yours must be a 2009 onwards one I'm guessing, with the white dash?

Nice work guile, and great to see you still progressing this build.

Out of interest what do you use all the extra switches for around the hazard lights switch?

thanks mate, guessing the gate switch, garage switch, esp and front parking sensors are self explanatory...

the s3 switch is for power on to water meth and the 4 rings will light up green when meth is on. that's the plan anyway, I've just got to get it fitted...

this is the picture from the last 3 track days and I'm determined not to make it a 4th...

I've tried 3 different type of band clamps, worm drive, constant tension and t bolt. I think the turbo muffler delete spigot flange just doesn't have enough friction on it, its like an ice pole...

its a CTS one that came with turbo outlet kit but its useless, I'm hoping this mamba one will be a lot better. I'm also going to try and clamp the silicone hose on while the muffler delete is off the car so I can see its seated well. I just hope I can get access to all three bolts to then bolt it to the turbo...

I think you can see in this photo the new muffler delete has a lot more pronounced "barb" on it and the grooves should help compress the hose in to them...

fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info. I've seen some retrofitted ones before, but never seen that number of additional switches added (Audi rings/S3/gate/garage).

Did you just integrate a remote for the gate and garage and wire to the switches? Or did you put in a Homelink module?

all good, I just wired straight to the remotes that are stuffed behind the end fuse box panel in cloth tape to stop any rattles...

I did want to do homelink originally but it all got too hard so the remotes were the easiest and most reliable option (until you need to change batteries)...
