need exhaust help fast!
Hey there
I find myself suddenly in the position of trying to find a a cool exhaust performance and looks (cat back) for my A4 1.8T. It seems there was a little snafu in my driving last week...long story short--I spun about 4 times or so (I think) and did minor damage all over. Aside from a new paint job (sike!) I've crunched up the tailpipe. Fortunately I happen to be an auto claims adjuster & have connections. The body shop will take the cost of the OEM system & put it towards the price of the aftermarket system of my choice. Granted I'll still have 2 to $400 excess expenditure, but this seems to be a stellar opportunity to get something to serve me on the track at a reduced cost. The problem is.....I need to order something next week but pronto, to ship in to my body shop and ...(ahem) I'm broke.
Who can recommend a bargain catback performance exhaust under $700 (preferably $550--don't laugh
that will suit my needs AND be readily available. God Bless you for your help!

Try an APR, or Scorpion exhaust..
I haven't had experience with any of them, but you could also try a Borla Exhaust, that's around $440.
I don't like it to much!
Apr is around 700
and Scorpion is about 500.
You get what you pay for!

Try Stebro...
...they now have a high flow downpipe to go with their awesome sounding exhaust.
Had mine on for over two years and love it! Great sound, excellent quality and perfect fit!

I dig my Borla....
....IMHO, it's the best bang-for-the-buck out there for the 1.8T due to it's relatively cheap price and the fact that it is a "true" cat-back exhaust which comes with a new downpipe. You will get the most performance for your dollar with this exhaust.
