I've gone through the nicely organized exhaust thread for 05+ S3's and I really like some of the euro companies like Zard and Shark among others, yet I'm having a hard time finding sites that stock them. I also like the Jardine carbons but can't find them anywhere including Jardine's site. Are there any decent sites to get these from or am I stuck calling the company directly and having it shipped from the manufacturer. Or better yet, is there a US importer of these pipes? Yes, I used the search function already.

ps. is it just me or is the search feature really clumsy?

Thanks for those two links. I got another Q with the Zard. I ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs most of the time. Is there any issue with heels contacting the Zard muffler? It looks like it tucks in pretty tight, but I'd hate to pay 500 for a slipon that hits my heels.

Mike,

I've only got to ride with my Zard once so far(this past Sat), and I ride the same way, and I noticed no issues with this Sat. Maybe Monkeyhanger will chime in too, he's had his slipon fer sometime now. Also Avi8or and ctrhenry have the full systems, and I've never heard them complain of the problem.

Me 2 use balls on ze pegs. No Zard/heel contact. Wear 43 Sidi Black Rain boots. Dunno what that is in American size.

bikeman here is a kick butt web site for exotic exhausts for the S3. You do have to go through all the manufactures but there are some sweet ones. I really want the ginnelli's but cant find out how much they cost. Ginnelli is aparently closed for a month.
