Are you happy with how they sound? To loud not enough drone etc.

Default I heard Corey's at the autox yesterday -- sounds nice, to me...

but, you really should try to listen to it in person -- everyone has a different opinion...

It's too hard to judge something like that for someone else

Default I've heard Scorpion, APR, VM1, and both VM2's....

So far the loudest of this bunch is my VM2 w/o res tips, although just barely louder than the VM1 (Warren's was "broken-in"). From what I hear, it should "break-in" a little and quiet down just a smidge. I guess it's about as loud as a stock 911 Carrera2 or something along those lines. Sounds very good, though, IMO. I got many compliments yesterday at the autocross. In fact, one guy (who drives a Maxima) said, "Corey, no 4-door sedan should ever sound that good." :-)

Let me rank these systems from loudest, to quietest:

1. VM2 w/o res tips
2. VM1
3. VM2 w/res tips
4. Scorpion
5. APR

I was around AnotherDrew's car as well, with MTM exhaust, but never had a chance to listen to it. Perhaps that's because it's so quiet! I'm not really sure.

Hope this helps.<p>Corey S

Default Have any shipped yet?

I don't think they have. Steve S drove an S4 with their prototype unit on it, though.

The only reason I've heard all these different exhaust systems is because I went to the Mid-Ohio national Quattro Club event. There were lots of neat toys there. :-)<p>Corey S

Default I can compare Coreys to the prototype Neuspeed one...

Corey has the one with only the one muffler, mid-car, and straight pipes from then on. It is much louder than the Neuspeed/Borla one. The Neuspeed one apparently will have two mufflers...it is way more subdued. Personal preference...the VM one is too loud for me for allround use. I like the tones...but I don't want to hear it ALL the time.

Cost is different also..the Neuspeed S4 one is supposedly about $699...and the UUC one is $1,199.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3821"><br><br>
