Default I'm freaking out... gotta saw off the mufflers! Something!!!

This car is way too muffled, there's something inside screaming to come out! I wanted to saw the mufflers off today and put on straight pipes, anything. I'm getting nutty about it, I end up going way too fast because the sound isn't cutting it for me. I feel like I'm driving a high class normally aspirated Cuisinart. Last night I wanted to gut it and make it a race car...then I realized I have a sunroof, and nav...

I think the first move is to take out the resonator.

Maybe trade it in on a base model, GUT IT!...sunroof delete, track seats, roll cage, STASIS motorsport suspension, straight pipes, software...

TJ - You still have the 20's? I might need an extra set.

Yes, I do. One rim has rash, and there are two new tires unmounted... Do you think they'd fit on the RS4...I was thinking of powdercoating them and putting them on.

Default Simple quick inexpensive fix.

Go to your local muffler shop and have them cut off the stock muffler. Have them weld on a Magnaflow muffler of the apropriate size. Also have them weld the stock tips onto the Magnaflow. Should cost less than $300 and improve the sound significantly. This is what many C6 Corvette owners are doing to improve the sound although some have replaced the entire system.
