A little bit more rumble and growl exhaust...
 

I'm on a quest to make my 2008 Audi TT 2.0T convertible exhaust a little bit more rumble, growl and louder. So far I have the shop deleted a resonator and installed a free flow muffler, but it still doesn't get as loud as I wanted. I did the same thing with my 2003 Toyota Mr2, and it gets louder and sounds very good. I wanted to keep it within Arizona emission laws too. Can you guy give me some tips? I cannot find all the detail on this car exhaust system. Can someone explain to me what is shown in the photo? I want to determine if it is legal to remove.

As mentioned above, the shop replaced the OEM muffler with a free flow round muffler and I installed the cold air intake and racing chip. It's as fast and furious as I can get with this 2.0T engine, and I am very happy with it. Just needed a little more exhaust rumble and growl out of it, and I should be done with my performance mod...

Thanks.

Here is a photo of my catback without the gigantic OEM muffler box....

Here's a photo of my engine bay...and I like the sounds coming out from the engine bay after I installed the cold air intake and racing chip (mounted behind the cold air intake filter)...
