Magnaflow mufflers installed. Everything else is stock.

I hope you warmed the car up before revving like that.

 

Of course. I had actually just got home from work. Figured I'de back out to show off the car a bit too though. What did you think? People said to take off the resonators but I think it's open enough.

 

Leave the resonators on, you don't want to sound like a civic. Nice car though

 

Hm, I say get rid of the resonator, you lose that "signiture" Audi sound and its very heavy, probably a little restrictive to. I got Remus on my car (just mufflers) and it was very quiet, not much louder than stock. I had the res. removed and it really woke it up! The sound is very clear and mean. Here's some examples. O, and yours does sound pretty good for still having that resonator, you can have it cut off in a way that it can be put back on if it is too loud or something (what I did) but I never put it back, it sounds too good!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC6w4jZ4y1E (Remus with out resonator) did a walk around, sound starts at 50sec.

Theres other vids as well, I was told that I have the best sounding 2.8 A6 exhaust on here by one of the members. Trust me, as long as you dont mind a little noise, no-resonator is the way to go. And thats a V8, it will never sound like a civic

 

You can run no mufflers or resonator on a 4.2L and it won't sound anything like a civic, it sounds down right mean actually. One guy came into our shop with no cats, and just two glass packs installed, probably the baddest sound i've heard out of any audi, wasn't very loud either even with the cats and resonators removed.

 

pipes cut after the cats-

An S4 4.2 with strait pipes from the cats back-

It will never sound bad, only bad ***!!!!!

 

STraight pipes on the 4.2 sounds really mean and good. It is also LOUD as hell and horrible resonance at 2-3K, which is usual cruising. I couldn't take it anymore and put my stock pipes back on.

 

sounds pretty quiet still

go get some 2.5" piping =)

 

Man I need an exhaust but I still haven't been able to decide what to do.
