Yep, the back box is all wrong, on Ur's and CQ's they run transverse to the car...

whats the story with the back box ?
it was made by meercat in kilbirnie - terrific job but sounds shite (too quiet yet booming inside the car)...i'm going to get another CAC system for the quattro - the sound is unbeatable as is the quality..

Get meercat to make a copy the original design and it should fit better - simples.

From the sound description you have posted I would say the box they have used is totally wrong for flow etc .... The best stainless system that looks Oem is roger galvins then a miltek or scorpion if you can get one
