MTM exhaust installed on the S6.
Installed the MTM Cat Back Stainless Steel Exhaust System for the S6 Avant today.
Cost: exhaust-$1700 tax-$123 shipping-$85 labor-$265
Everything went together and fit perfectly...a quality product.
Impressions:
The system is not all that much louder than stock, but significantly "deeper". A very nice "low" pitch at idle, that comes up "warm & full" with throttle application. No raspiness or brash sounds, like I've heard on other aftermarket systems, just a nice V8 presence all the way through acceleration. The 3" tips fit well in the stock valence opening, and don't look glaringly aftermarket. Performance seems slightly improved, particularly right off the line, as the system definitely feels a little freer flowing and natural.
This is just the first step in my MTM adventure, but so far I'm ecstatic!

Well...holy crap, that looks really good...I'd love to see how it felt and sounded...
It doesn't look very different than stock (I don't spend much of my day underneath my cars! 
but I imagine it is the sound, feel, and performance that makes it worth the $2k...I'd be interested to see and feel the difference for myself...

Awesome. Can you post a before/after pic from normal eyeball point of view?
The system really looks great, keep us up to date. I've now budgeted YA$2K (yet another two-thousand dollars) into my S6 "budget" account.
Damn, I'm going to enjoy my S6!
BTW, my Boxster S business partner drove a Porsche C4S yesterday while getting new oil in the Boxster, and has reported that he felt like he was driving a silly toy (Boxster) home. He <i>loved</i> the Carrera! Keeps my Porsche dreams kicking as he was prepared to hate the 996 (as most Boxster owners are).

I guess. I'd give up the Audi for one....... BTW, nice updated sig!
As well, I've gone fast in a Boxster - fast enough to make me a believer that it's the real deal.
My partner owned a 914/6 a long time ago, and I think he'd be offended by your accusation!

They are fast, but it is not the same. I can't fit in the Boxter, but I can barely
fit in the Carrera coupe. And if you can find a 914/6 that runs right - they are wicked fast, and have massive trailing throttle oversteer, right?
