Default I doubt it would affect the warranty.

And if they do you have a clown for a service manager. Audi has sold their own free flow cat back exhausts for both the RS6 and B5 S4. I never had issues getting warranty coverage on my B5 with a cat back. I suspect the stock cat back on the RS4 flows really well and any aftermarket gains HP will be minimal. That will make it of minimal concern for warranty.

Default I agree it shouldn't be of concern and actually is better for the engine but...

there have been instances in the past where a$$ clown service managers and AoA warranty agents have taken any opportunity they can find to nulify the warranty and save audi thousands of dollars...

I'm just curious to see what people are thinking since no one wants to be stuck with a 15k+ repair bill?

Default I wouldn't touch the exhaust on this car anyway....

I like the two stage exhaust flapper deal that lets it be quiet and semi agressive sounding.
