Default New rear muffler is slightly more quiet. Does not spit and pop quite as much.

Actually like it better than the V1 Borla/Neuspeed. YMMV.

Default And no more "sandblaster" sound....so I've heard???

I'm thinking of getting the new V2 muffler from AWE to see if it goes away!!

Default Hmm, don't remember noticing it on the V1.

Default It just really started after the K04 install..................

Are you saying the the current muffler section has "self welded" itself to the incoming pipe??? I might have to have someone do that for me !!!

Default Heh, mine was a pita...

Had been on the car 2yrs prior. You could turn the union but you know the unions on the Borlas are maybe 3.5-4" deep and they were really seated toghether. After pulling and twisting with it(in a vise) for about an hour off the car I took it to a muffler shop for some heat.

Nick was down this spring for some driving with K04s and a V1 Borla... I didn't notice it but he was saying it sandblasts too. I think having the Y pipe in the muffler/resonator helps with the noise... but then again I am too slow to sandblast =-)

Default Sounds like a trip to the muffler shop right from the start !!!!

Slow is a relative term. In stock form, the S4 is faster than 95% of the cars on the road.
