Default Hehe.. I'd recommend not going to that shop anymore :)

You'll need a complete system (cat-back) to get any performance gains. The muffler alone is a not a restriction point for our system. The most popular systems(and I assume you've got a manual quattro) are APR, Borla (similar system to Neuspeed), Scorpion (only downpipe-back though), MTM and a couple others I'm forgetting right now. There's a new system out by Milltek through Stratmosphere tuning that is only installed on a couple cars here so far, but it looks extremely promising.

Default Hrmm.. shop around at those companies I listed.

Your options may be more limited, but there will still be good systems out there for you.

Default I have a Brullen (from LLTek) for my tiptronic A4. Pretty throaty...

decent performance gains...
looks good...

Not too many choices available for tip/auto 1.8T's

Default Mainly higher rpm increase in power. It's subtle, but it's noticeable...

It could be Placebo though...
It certainly doesn't make as big a difference as a chip.
