2005 Audi allroad 4.2: Stock exhaust -vs- Magnaflow exhaust
 

This is my 2005 4.2. It has 28000mi w/ all available options except nav.
I just completed the installation of Magnaflow polished stainless steel performance mufflers and 3.5" double walled stainless tips. Deans Muffler Customs in Roseburg, Oregon performed the work. http://www.northwindexhaust.com
The engine sounds much beefier IMHO, and seems to open up much quicker with acceleration.
The complete job including labor and materials was $450. The link to youtube is a before and after sound of both exhausts. I will be sending my ECU to APR next week to be chipped. I hope you like the post.

Sounds horrible, you should sell me your car. I'm in Seattle and could be there by 3pm today.

It was very cold in my garage the morning of the stock exhaust segment. That's steam/ condensation
 

coming from the tips at idle.

That sounds really good and great price!

You spelled polished "pollished" and stainless "stailess" great sound though.

no offense but
 

they both sound lame.


As someone who had one I learned that the 4.2 sounds pretty industrial when cold. (better than the washing machine sounds of the cold 2.7T) Now when its warmed up it really does sound good. But the whine we are hearing is just noise...louder with the new exhaust, but still noise to my ears.

lets hear some warmed up clips. It looks good tho.

Looks / sounds good. I didn't keep my 4.2 long enough. :oT

I cant even find 4.2 in the local....

WTH was that at the end of the video???
 

Sounded like the engine fell on the floor?

Sounds nice with the Magnaflow, but I think it also sounds nice as stock.

That's a nice, very low mileage car!
I'm buying it...;)...will be over on Saturday morning.

Wow tough crowd! I was in hurry...I can't re-record the before, but I may record and
 

re-post the after with the engine warm. I will include spelling corrections for the teacher. The sound at the end is the door closing.
