Default Which one of these exhausts would you guys choose to put on your cars...

I know many of you have already installed one of these on your beautiful cars already, but what were some of the reasons for choosing one over the other? Im having a hard time figuring out which one to buy for myself. They all really give the same power increase and they all pretty much look the same except for the AWE which you can adjust the tips for. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Default i got the awe for a few reasons...

-best price at that time(holiday sale).
-awe parts come nothing short in quality. it's beautiful piece with the performance to back it up.
-adjustable tip is a plus.

Default the one thing that sorta annoys me about the awe is that you can't run

Default Educate us/me...

I don't know anything about Vibrant. What are its characteristics (performance, sound, etc.)?

Default OK

Well, my experience is based on the B5 exhaust as well sound clips from a B6 car.

Fit and finish are great. Tubing is not the biggest in the marketplace, and I bet this exhaust will not generate the most HP gains. But few exhaust do. More is gained from downpipes, etc.

Sound is also mellow. These were in the Audi Accessories catalog, so you can imagine they passed the quality and sound tests. All of their exhaust pass some European regulation for loudness.

These exhaust compare in sound quality and volume to Milltek at a fraction of the cost. B5 cars have no drone.

Perfect if you are looking for an exhaust that is special but not obtrusive.
