2007 Audi S8 w/ Milltek (vid) & 21" MTM wheels

Milltek cat back non-res version installed. I have a lift so it was a really easy install. Look great, sounds awesome (vid link below) and my only complaints are; the system grows ~2" when it heats up and the hardware (clamps/bolts/nuts) are REALLY cheap and certainly not the quality I expected. Perhaps when it heat cycles a couple more times it will stop growing-shrinking?

The 21" MTM wheels are shiny silver as opposed to the machined/dark background version you've probably seen on cars here and in the MTM ads. Reason I didn't go with that wheel is, the gray on the background doesn't match the Phantom Black (looks like Porsche Atlas Gray in person). While I had the wheels off, I painted the rotor hats high gloss silver. The wheels really improve the stance of the car and the size more appropriate for a car the size of the S8.

Here are a couple pics:

Love the S8, I just love the classy presence it has and I'm not a big car type fan really. S600 etc are faster but no way in hell would I choose any S class or 7 series over the S8.

PLEASE, please don't drag that stuff into this thread. My experience with them was very positive.
