2 mufflers???
 
i noticed that my exhaust goes like this ------cat-------muffler-------muffler
i believe the mid muffler is called a resinator (sp?). would i get a better sound if i removed this, what is it for, just an extra silencer? i want to just hack it off and put a straight pipe there. is this a good idea?

Not a good idea to remove the resonator. It is fairly low restriction anyway.

I was always under the impression that the resonator was a straight-thru design and that it didn't restrict too much. I thought about cutting mine off, but it's more hassle than it's worth, unless someone says it's robbing me of at least 10 ponies!

I have no mufflers at all. For a 1.8t it's not loud and sounds mean.

The less restriction behind your turbo the better. I'm not up to par yet on the whole Audi turbo/exhaust system but with my old car I only wanted non restrictive piping all the way back to a straight through muffler (of course I could also get away with no cat here).
