noobie in AF. just got a '02 A6 4.2l. sport/cold package. love it. want it to breathe better. what available exhaust systems is out there for this car? can anybody send me likns please. thanks!

 

There really isn't a whole lot to choose from. I know Miltek has a complete exhaust, but that is pretty costly.

Your best bet is to go with VAST Performance. They have been pretty dedicated to the 4.2 for the last year and doing a lot of R&D. There are a few clips of their Super Open exhaust and it sounds killer.

They also have some intake mods which pair up nicely with the exhaust.

Read through this thread; it may help - https://www.audiforums.com/m_778665/tm.htm

I recommend that you speak/communicate with Baskin 4.2l as he has direct contact with the guys at VAST. Also, check out the movie link in his signature. He has one of the VAST exhausts.

Check this thread too for a cool vid - https://www.audiforums.com/m_776151/tm.htm

Good luck!

 

2nd the Vast Performance recomendation

I went out to see them over the weekend and I have to say they really are making a difference in the abandoned 4.2 market. Igot a tip file and tested a ECU file...bottom line NIGHT AND DAYDIFFERENCE. they don't charge enough for the parts and programs. I am going to drive the car for a few more days and then give the forum my feed back. VAST is amustgo to for 4.2 performance

 

thank you for all that responded...i will check VAST out...wish me luck...

 

3rd on the VAST

E mail Either kurt@vastperformance.com or prince@vastperformance.com Kurt heads up the N/A development but good luck getting a hold of him

 

i hope it's just the camcorders mic that's making the sound a little to raspy for my...i guess i should be more specific as to what i'm looking for...i really want a more deeper, fuller rumble...any other options for the exhaust out there?

 

imo the car is clean and definitely fast...just want a different tone for my car...thanks again for the help...

 

That is the super open exhaust on my car stage 3 exhaust.

There are 2 other stages. I will see if there are any other sound clips

 

thanks...can't wait to hear more clips from your car...

 

baskin4.2l...what is your current set-up for your 4.2...i.e.suspension (springs, sways), exhaust, intake, wheel and tire combo......just to give me an idea...thanks again!
