Thought about removing the factory resonator and having straight pipes welded in their place. Wanted to see how it sounds prior to purchasing a complete cat-back. Anyone tried this yet?

 

i was thinking about that before i purchased my milltek catback exhaust. i heard that it would sound kinda funky, who knows... i dont know anyone that has done it.

 

your audi is custom painted gt3rs green?

 

I did it, it was raspy so I ended up replacing it with a magnaflow cat-back.

Not the best quality sound, but you will get the idea.

Stock exhaust, resontators removed:

I love the Magnaflow, but the Milltek makes the car sound so Orgasmic..

 

From the factory... Many of us are insanely jealous.

Removing the resonators sounds like crap. Invest in a quality system, and I assure you, you will not be upset.

 

Yup, that's me

 

I suggest the Milltek non-resonated catback with valves for the ultimate in big sound you can tame with the button. We also have black tip options now as well.

I am surprised it sounded raspy .. but sure does ...

 

Those look nice, black would go good with the Ti pkg. Just curious, why do the valves cost $1000 more???

 

Milltek makes a great product as well.

Buying an exhaust for the RS4 was a tough choice, but I ultimately picked the magnaflow for sound (loud but exotic sounding, so not to be annoying) and the design of the system, the true x-pipe design. And the super cheap price certainly helped.

My second pick was GMG, it sounds fantastic and I like the super aggressive tips. If I could have the ultimate exhaust it would magnaflow with GMG tips.

Milltek is awesome because of all the options/variations they have. But imo it sounded the most "tinny" of all the exhausts. Don't get me wrong it still sounds fantastic, the engine just makes a fantastic noise.

 

Oh! Oh! Oh! Go with GMG!

I love my GMG exhaust. Loud under acceleration / deceleration, yet quiet on the freeway. Really the perfect system for a daily driver. The sound is more refined than the Milltek. GMG can also have it thermal coated black, which would look awesome with your color of exterior paint.

Get it!

 

I agree. After all of the research I have done, I'm going to go with the GMG with black tips.

 

Nice choice! You'll love it, exhaust really completes the RS4 experience for me.
