magnaflow is a popular choice. I still think Milltek and Borla sound better, but you pay out the *** for it.

Magnaflow FTW. Great blend of cost, performance and sound IMO. I've had a magnaflow on several cars.

Remus is absolutely the best exhaust sound you will find on the 2.8

You could always find a used S4 catback for cheap, all you need to do is weld in reducers because the pipes are bigger than stock.From what I've read it's a bit louder than stock but quieter than aftermarket stuff. I picked one up for $50 in really good shape.
