I think it has to do with the exhaust system and building back pressure. With a turbo engine, more back pressure is not good... Of couse you do need some back pressure.. Then again, you didnt mention your yr/engine type, etc. I just assume everyone drives a 1.8t if they dont indiacte otherwise.

I apologize. I come from a Honda background. Not a rice background as you may think, coming from Honda. The twin loop creates a non-ricey sound on a Honda. I realize I have a turbo and the twin loop would cause more backpreasure but I am just looking at muffler options right now. I have a cat back exhaust with a rice can. has a nice sound to it but I hate having a can on a car like an Audi. I do drive a 1.8TM 98. I didn't put the can on by the way.

couldn't you just take the can off and put on a good muffler, like a Remus or something?

My bad, I missed that part of the post.

If you can find a Remus exhaust I would get it. Thats what I'm looking for right now, but I can't find where to buy one for a 12v[:@] They sound like heaven on earth IMO

I just want a nice quiet muffler at idle and up to 3k rpms. But when I open it up I want a nice deep mellow note.
