Default ordered the magnaflow yesterday...

...thanks OCguy337 for the heads-up on the pricing....$750 shipped was too good to pass up, and the tips look better than I expected. I think I paid more for my A4 exhaust 8 years ago!

For those of you who already have an exhaust and kept your OEM system...how are you storing it? I'm thinking of putting some large hooks either on the wall or ceiling of the garage to hang it...has anyone tried that? Pics?

BTW, I will try to weigh both the OEM and magnaflow system when it arrives.

Default nice, damn that is a great price...

I have the same plan for storing my stock exhaust... bring it over to the gf's place and hang some hooks in her garage...lots of hooks and maybe other things to secure it. Last thing I want is for that thing to fall into her car then I'd be in big trouble.

Default the problem is that it seems to be one huge piece.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's close to 100 lbs.

Default The OEM should be heavy if it is like past Audi exhausts for the S4s

Good idea to hang it.

Default aaaaand....

judging by the diagram below, the mufflers are easily removable and could be replaced with...straight pipes!

Default It's about a 30-35 lbs difference, IIRC

I remember weighing the two when I worked with the MagnaFlow guys; the difference, if I recall correctly, was about 30-35 lbs. It wasn't less than a 27 lbs difference, I'm pretty sure.

Anyway, it was significant.

Default did they use your car in this video.....

....<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMoztOtiXeY">here?</a>

I recognized Saddleback in the background and thought that was too much of a coincidence.
