I would imagine there are plenty of alternatives such as silicone pipe replacements etc...

Your best bet is to probably head off to eBay or Audi owners forums and do some searching there, I'd be pretty sure most of the engine bay modifiers would have gone down this path many times before.

Motor factors can get them spurious, around €100 each. Not sure what the quality is like. The pipes with the clips on the 130hp are stupid though, not sure what was wrong with jubilee clips like the 100hp. If it was me though I'd probably just get one off eBay

If the hole in the pipe is board out would that result in more power I wonder.
