Beautiful and hot ride. I have liked the S5 right from the beginning.....but modded makes it even better.
Love the DPE's but there is something about Work wheels.
Nice ride!
More pics please.

Why are you thinking about changing out the Milltek for an AWE Exhaust? Your car looks awesome - love the Work Wheels!

The Milltek exhaust is very understated in both looks and sound, which a lot of people like. It is not EVER annoying to drive, doesn't attract attention from the police even if they are right next to you, and doesn't even visually draw any attention to itself.

That being said, I do have an aggressively lowered car (now that I'm on KW coilovers) with tinted windows and 20" wheels. I feel like it would be a better visual match to have the more noticeable polished 90mm tips of the AWE system. From a sound point of view, I'm actually accustomed to louder exhausts and don't get easily annoyed by them, so I'd prefer the more grunty AWE sound.

You couldn't go wrong with either system, and if you're interested in the Milltek system, I'm definitely going to be selling mine in the near future. Lots of videos on Youtube of the system and lots of happy customers, so it's definitely not a quality issue.
