Thanks! I’m digging the sound!

Slight performance gains. Though I just don’t want to lose power on an exhaust setup (more for sound really).

Though I’m not sure which exhaust they “tested” on. I wonder if anyone from AWE reads these forums.

Car seems a bit more eager than before. I’ll try and go to the strip at some point. It’s just really shitty here. Always a zoo (notarmed and I got 2 runs each in around 3+ hours last time we were there).

Sorry for the hijack, Sky.

Here’s a pic of it installed:

Non resonated down pipes.

No problem. Beautiful Sound!

#125

The exhaust made someone’s car alarm chirp?

#126

Yeah. When I downshifted. Haha!

#127

My old S4 used to set alarms off in parking garages regularly.

+1. There’s actually a group of cars parked along one of the streets I take to work. I set the alarms off on at least 2 of the cars every day. Sorry for going off topic.

Exhaust sounds great Sky and Psykhotic.

What about a set of these?

I’m not convinced on Armytrix.

They’ve had to address power loss concerns (which they didn’t really provide that much info apart from “yeah we’ve tested it”).

A local S5 installed one and had horrible fitment issues.

armytrix are crap. They’re loud and terribly designed exhausts. The standard audi crap that morons in America love to pay retail for because it’s from Europe. Add tubi, capristo, scorpion, milltek etc. etc. etc. to that list. Overpriced crap with zero thought given to performance.

#132

I want to say that Armytrix is Taiwanese. Not completely sure, but I don’t think they’re European.

#133

Same thing. Overpriced junk

foreign = fancy = I must spend $5,000 for a catback that is same/smaller diam. than stock

Spend $80,000 on car for 450 hp…kill power in pursuit of forum adulation by buying substandard but adored foreign exhaust.

thaaaaaat makes sense.

Best part is these dummies are throwing around dyno sheets thinking the mufflers are getting them 20 hp over stock. Are they fucking retarded? Man, it’s like the worst of the RS4 first gen owners have ALL left quattrofail and bought RS5s

Not sure where you are located buy my friend owns an exhaust shop and does great work on pretty much everything including ferraris, he did the x pipe res. Delete on my s6, and my cayenne gts. He is in MD but it’s well worth it, if you want I’ll put you in touch and make sure he gives u a great deal!

#135

I’m good. Already have an exhaust and am on the west coast. :slight_smile:

Thanks though
