Are these cars built on the same chassis, PQ35?

 RS3 8p and mk6 golf R and S3 8p

I know the RS3 and s3 are the same that’s obvious I’m thinking off the mk6 R

Also the Mk5 Golf (1K)

So in theory a rear anti roll bar from a mk6 golf should fit the 8p then?

As long as it's on the Golf Mk 5/6 1K 4 Motion or Audi 8P Quattro platform your be fine.

As long as the Haldex / Diff is the same layout.

Pretty much what I thought Dell

The 8V is different from S3 to RS3 unlike the earlier platform.

Well it fits but very close to the exhaust system not sure if that’s because it’s a miltek system or not though

and the supplied brackets are to big for where the bar gets bolted to, had to put a small notch in both sides so the bar could be adjusted to not hit the diff

Aftermarket exhausts never fit as nicely as the OEM one's tbh.

Glad it on & your also notice the difference with the handling with no understeer

I suppose decent after market exhausts are never going to fit the same because the shape is slightly change to give better angles on the turns for air flow. I always wondered why Audi couldn’t have done this and why there are a few indentations even on the sports exhaust.

[SteveHealy71]

That’s what I’m going to do, put a small indentation in the pipe just to eliminate the last bit of knocking I have

Did you have time to compare the OEM v Whiteline ARB to see if there was any difference in its shape as the problem may not be the exhaust but the design of the ARB.

Putting a small dent in the exhaust wouldn't cause any problems performance wise tbh.

The stock exhaust works well in the respect of the job it's designed too & to tbh it also supports most mods up to hybrid spec.

The downpipe due to the cat is the biggest holdback due to thermal loading the turbo on a mapped car.

I did see that the white line bar is 24mm  thick where as other makes are 22.5mm so plays a part in tight fitment

Don't look like any difference baring the additional thickness so with that & the aftermarket exhaust there goes the clearance. 😕

When I get time I'll have a look & take some photos of the clearance of my stock exhaust & the 034 ARB I have fitted.

[Does the 034 bar go over the exuast like the standard bar or under
