Default Saw some of their posts in the archives, looks like they did the full system, not just the mufflers

or no?

Default Ed has cat back system and sounds pretty nice. Just a low rumble tone..

I'm thinking of doing magnaflow mufflers and leaving the stock resonators on come next spring. I'm thinking this setup might sound close to the rs6 setup.

Default Sorry for slow post. I've had the Enhanced version on my allroad for almost 2 years....

It is a full cat back system:

On the allroad, had to change the tips so I wouldn't have to cut up the valance, but otherwise a bolt-on conversion. Nice mellow sound, deeper sounding than a Milltek, but flows really well. And turbos spool up a bit quicker too.

Can't imagine why some would think it doesn't sound good on a 2.7. Everyone who's heard mine has said it sounds relly nice. (dhpress, carbonlord, db?, and several other A6 folks.)

Default The exhuast in you pic appears to be non-enhanced...

judging by the polished tips. The Sport Enhanced RS6 exhaust has flat black tips...

I intend to utilize the stock tips. I always thought it would be a PITA to cut the valence accordingly to fit it, but we have an expert here in the Boston area who did a great job with it on Boston Driver's 4.2. So I feel confident he can do the same on my 2.7T.

What are your thoughts on having a custom system made in conjunction with the RS6 enhanced mufflers? Should I delete the resonator?

I'm getting a pretty good deal on the mufflers so I think I'll just go for it and see what happens.

Default That was a pic I was showing to demonstrate the difference

in the shape oand configuration of the systems. Only one I had of the two side by side. Sorry for the confusion.

Quick question-which magnaflow mufflers would you use to match a RS6 sound enhanced version?? I have been waiting looking for an answer for sometime.

TIA!
