Default 3.0 tfsi muffler/exhaust options

Hi again!

Looking to get some more sound from the Q. I just recently put on the Roc-Euro CAI for that sweet supercharger whine, but now I feel like it's a little out of place and needs something more. I've heard 3.0t A6's with rear muffler deletes and IMO it sounds great. I imagine it would sound similar on the Q7. Anyone have experience/recommendations/videos of what they've done to theirs? TIA!

could you film outside and inside sound with that intake, is the car stock otherwise?

Not exactly the same intake, but noise should be very similar. If you look up my handle on Youtube, I have vids of mine after install and a few shorts done from inside the car as well. It's in my signature

Yes, it’s completely stock other than the CAI.

Thank YOU! I got mine for $200 instead of the regular $350 just because I was able to find one used on FB marketplace. If you’re able to find one used, by all means go for it, there’s not really much of anything to break or endure wear (except for the filter)

yeah, It sounds quite agressive.

Now Im thinking, would I get a bit of whine from a "sport" filter insert, like those KN and whatnot. But man, this will make me wanna do remap then as well, to open up all 350hp from the engine.
