Quieting a borla exhaust
I am getting a borla exhaust for my 2002 a4 and the fast intentions downpipe(bc I have a tiptronic) If it is too loud is there a way I can quiet it without sacrificing to much money/performance

RE: Quieting a borla exhaust
If you don't remove the Borla resonators it will be nearly as quiet as stock exhaust... you have nothing to worry about.
I bought an exhaust mostly for the deep sound it offers... but if you want to spend 800$ + for 7-10hp so be it[&:]
Resonators off = for the win.

resonators on, with bigger piping and a borla canister = for the win.

no offense amze, but you're what, 18 or 19? it may not bother you to have a noisy car as a daily driver, but quietness is important to a lot of people. I'm 24, and I've had my fair share of loud cars (you haven't heard loud until you've been in an RX7 with full exhaust). when a lot of people see a classy car like an audi, and it screams past them with a loud exhaust, they think "punk". it's a stereotype, and a bad one, but it's there.

I hear you man, and I understand... but if you don't want the sound why bother with an exhaust? Looks? Minor power gains, unless the guy plans on chipping. And yeah I'm I'll be 18 soon, so I'm young and like sound. I got ya though
