Default Exausts

What kind of exausts do you guys have on your 1.8t A4's. What do you like/dislike about them and how are the sound levels?

Default 3" custom turbo back, no cat, 1 muffler

I love the exhaust but it is way too loud. It was a pretty noticable increase in power even over the borla I had on before it. If you don't mind a ridiculously loud exhaust I'd recomend this setup.

Default 3" downpipe, no cat, going to a 2.5" Scorpion exhaust.....

It's really nice, it's not too loud (I personally think it's too quiet) and there isn't any droning.

I'd really have to listen to it compared to other exhausts at the same time to figure out just how loud it really is.

I've been thinking about removing the resonator, but I'm afraid it might drone at highway speeds, which is where I spend a lot of my time.

(roommates car, '97 A4tqm) 3" cat back, single Dynomax UltraFlow muffler. Droans a little at a certain RPM under big loads (certain uphill section coming into town does it). Otherwise sounds good...

Muffler flows at least 1000cfm.

Default I have it. Fit and finish is excellent. I don't get any drone and has a nice growl w/o being loud.

I run a Stg III so it's got a bit more bark at WOT than a chipped car would.

I went with Milltek for the tone. APR is great too, but it is alittle louder.
