So $200 dp+ $80 resonator+ $200 muffler. Than lets say another $200 for labor and custom mid pipe. Thats ~$680. Which is the cost of like a full catback exhaust setup. Guess I wont be saving much money.

 

You are saving a good amount - you're getting all aftermarket turbo-back including install for the cost of purchasing a shitty aftermarket cat-back, not including shipping or install.

I handed my guy the resonator and muffler and paid him $150 to fab the piping and install everything. I was catback only as my 2.8 would really suck with test pipes. Not sure where in MA you are but Nick was driving 5 hours from the Boston area. Our summer meet will be the first or second week in August (thread coming soon) and if you come, I can set you up with the shop to build yours like they did for me, Tyler, and a couple other guys.

 

Ok i might do that. Im 20 mins from boston so should be about the same 5hs. I think ill go this route then. Buy ft kit install mani, ft and 3-2.5 inch test pipe running on k03 tune. Then when i go to the meet bring my res and muffler and havem fab it up. Then upon return get the final 630 cc tune and all supporting mods injectors, afpr, fmic etc.

 

That works.

 

I want better sound sooner than later. I will temporarily put magnaflow muffler on stock exhaust until i do the full setup. Can i just saw off the stock muffler and put on the magnaflow with exhaust clamp(s)? How many clamps should i use?

 

Ok i ordered the muffler. Do they come with hangers or what do you do?

 

audis come with the dumbest exhaust muffler, it comes out the side vs a straight shot, your gonna need an angle bend. I think we used a 45 or 90 i can't remember, into an adaptor because it was 2.5 to 3 inch. clamped up and worked fine.
