Default Exhausts on a brand new car?

This may sound stupid but I admit i don't have much information about exhausts.
Is it "ok" if I install exhausts (AWE touring) on a brand new S5 (which i believe will have about 50 miles)?
Or do I need to drive the new car for a certain amount of miles before I can install exhausts?


Thanks....

I've been considering the same thing. Is there any impact on the warranty?

The only thing it'll affect are the muffler bearings.

I asked the manager at the dealership if changing the exhaust will affect warranty... he said no. you should double check with your dealer but you should be good to go.

In the USA the "Moss Magnuson Act" (sp) says that the manufacturer must prove the alteration was the direct cause of the failure to deny a warranty claim. Therefore, Audi would have to prove the exhaust system was the cause of any engine failure.
