Default Advice on Cat back Exhaust for '99 A4 2.8 liter

While the web seems to be well stocked with options for all you 1.8 turbo people, I have been able to find only one option for a cat back exhaust for my 2.8 ( from GReddy, of which I'm not a giant fan). Are there companies/ sites that I'm just not finding for the 2.8 system or is it (as I'm beginning to think) a system that I really just need to build myself? Any/all advice greatly appreciated!!!

Custom with a magnaflow ,uffler is the easiest way to go man. Remus is a great option too, but its only axle back.

The 2.8 really doesn't need more than an axle-back anyhow. The extra power gained (or sound for that matter) from a cat-back over an axle-back is hard to justify when you compare the pricing. And since the gains are so miniscule anyhow, just swap out the muffler(s) and be done with it.

I come from the A6 world, an removing the center resonator is a major improvement to the sound and performance of the car. I dont have a full cat back, just new pipes where the res. was. That added to the Remus makes for great performance and sound.
