Default Piggy pipes - I've STFA, other than cost what are the potential...

drawbacks to doing this mod? What can I expect to pay for the install at a good Audi enthusiast shop?
Any tips to make sure the mod works properly?

From what I can tell it seems like a good alternative to full cat back exhaust. Should I also remove resonators - is it a perforamcne or mostly sound change?

Thanks

Loud! I assume....All I have are Magnaflow rear exhausts and its annoying at times! I wanted to do the piggies, but not anymore.

Default drawbacks...

you need the O2 Sensors relocated or a spacer-bung installed or codes will result when the o2 sensors get fried.

You will get an increase in power but, it may not be worth the cost. You should first do an exhaust upgrade.
