Almost every Catback exhaust is priced around that same range. I would choose the system that you liked the sound of most. I personally haven't heard the magnaflow exhaust on anything short of a big block V-8, where it does sound good. Do more research, IMO.


Cheers!

I know that APR is have a 15% off sale...pretty reasonable after all's said and done. Ingolstadt West took great care of me too. Full system sounds great. They're also having a sale on ECU programming $499 full loaded.

Schweet.

as much as i want to do apr even if the priceis reasonable...i cant even afford to get a custom exhaust, life is not good to me so far for the past 2 years. what is mandrel bent? i only have the 1.8t fwd b6. if any of u guys would suggest a build up exhaust for me, so i can tell the shop how big i want the pipping, and i can explain to them about the mandrel bent.
