Default Supersprint Exhaust - Does anyone have pics, comments, feedback?

I've basically narrowed down my choices to two -- Forge or Supersprint. I've read a lot of positive comments about Forge but I believe Supersprint is around the same league in terms of quality and price. Any comments would be appreciated. TIA.

Default Supersprint

Very well made, all stainless, mellow sporty grumble (not loud at all.) Not cheap. If I were choosing between the two I would probably go with Supersprint.

Default I did this a couple days ago. there are a couple so hit the archives however.

I debated which exhaust for almost a month. as a former supersprint owner on my A4 2.8 I loved it.

but for 1258 + shipping I wasn't sure. Then I took a ride in the following.

Nuespeed Borla 540 bucks
MTM 1800 bucks
forge miltek 1200 bucks

and asked some questions.

I liked the Nuespeed sound the best and go figure it was the cheapest, but those who'd compared HP gains and speed etc.. with all three said they were identical in 40-100 mph roll on's bottomline.

save the money, get the borla and know that you didn't sacrafice anything.

I debated this issue way too long, but realized for the money I saved instead of getting the forge miltek at 1200 I can buy a set of tires for the track..... much more useful for me.

HTH's and yeah It's just my opinion.

Isn't the Supersprint less than 3 inches?

yup... the Forge should "theoretically" perform better but I've only seen dyno's of the Forge

Default Super Sprint, like stock (slight Growl) Scorpion (LOUD AS F*#CK) Borla.....see below

JUST PERFECT.

idle is a a slight growl, NOT a Single bit of Resonance whatsoever through the power band.

that was the key for me. I'm not spending money to listen to a drone, .....So....If you can I urge you to take the Pepsi Challenge so to speak and have someone give you a ride in the borla and Scorpion. Again it depends on your pref. but borla has the right sound, price, fit & performance for what I'm looking for.

which is... more than stock,but not Obnoxious.

HTH"s.

Default What? Scorpion loud as f---? What car did you hear?

IF my car was loud, I would have sold it. The guy I bought it from sold it to me becasue it was too quiet and he got the Borla because it was louder....he wanted more noise.

Default Loud where? Inside or outside the cabin? (m)

Where the cars you heard the exhaust on chipped or stock? I'm just curious. I know everyone's definition of loud is different, but trust me....The last thing I wanted was a loud exhaust on this car. Above 4k, I can't even hear it under an overpass. Kind of makes me sick.

Now if it was as loud as my Corrado, then I might not be as happy.
