any exhaust will sound good due to the turbo, but seriuosly they all sound good, dont worry unless you seriously mess up it wont sound like a honda(no offense), i got a 3" cat back custom with a magnaflow muffler sounds low and good and at no point does it crackle or high pitch. id post a clip but im too lazy...

Yeaa i know ive checked out youtube before and got some ideas but nothin on there sounds great and i think that has to do with the fact that its recorded obviously.. i was seein if anyone had input from actually hearing it in person

i've heard both miltek and neuspeed in real life, and it depends on what kind of sound do you want?

Both of them will give you the nice low european growl, but the neuspeed one is currently better built and is louder by a couple decibals. So if you want a better quailty and more sound then you should go with neuspeed. Otherwise you could go with milltek

I cant recall which exhaust i heard.. But before you get to picky with these exhaust you should look at the price tags! The APR is the cheapest and all i have heard is good reviews!

lol, well my only advice is to go with nesupeed or milltek, both are really good in terms of sound and quality. The only problem is price, they're each gonna run you about 1700 (if you do it at a shop) 1499 if u do it yourslef

AWE sounds the best i think.... But you have to have a quattro=(! Exhaust will run you about 1000...1700 sounds like a rip is that how much it cost you?
BTW if you go APR tell me which one you get!!!!

Borla custom 3" cat back is by far the best (cause i have it of course). No but it does sound and perform great.

I have the stealth exhaust from APR, and have no complaints. It has a slightly deeper tone than stock, not real noticable. The sport APR is louder but not ricey at all, sounds sweet just wasn't what I was going for.
IMO you shouldn't have a loud exhaust on these cars.....its not a muscle car.
BTW the stealth exhaust added about 15hp......

as of now, I believe APR only offers the Stealth system for the B7 (i.e. has the center muffler)

Myultrasport so the exhaust sounds good i plan on putting APR on my car! Since there the only ones who make exhaust for B7 stick FWD.
