For all who have purchased an aftermarket exhaust...
Which brand did you purchase and why? Are you happy with your decision? Any problems with fit (this seems to come up a lot). I have to decide today (which way to go and any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My impressions are that it is soft, as in not authorative..
If you've heard the UUC or the APR set-up for the S, can you do a quick sound comparison for me please? I know the S is pushing out more fumes but..<p>Nick N.

I guess it depends on what sound you want. I've heard UUC and it's too loud.

Yeah, but you cant directly compare an S exhaust with an A, I've heard supersprint
and its too quiet. I have not heard Borla in person but a lot say its too loud. However, all that is a matter of opinion. You have to listen for yourself. All us Audi drivers in each region need to get together and see things in person for ourselvs. You can't test exhausts on a message board Mike

NickS, B-mike and anyone with APR exhaust...
Did any of you call APR regarding the fitament issues and the centering of the pipes below the bumper? What about the angle the pipes are facing (I recall one of you had pipes that angled downward more than another buyer)? Did they say they were going to change that in future systems?
I'm not trying to slam APR--I'm leaning toward picking up the system--I just want to know if you made your concerns known to them and what their answers were.<p>'00 1.8TQMS Stock ;-)

Please read.......
I spoke with Stephen yesterday, sent him a ton of pictures and he said he would be getting back to me. I have yet to hear anything from him but I trust he is working on it. My exhaust sits too far to the left and bangs on the bottom side of the car and that rear muffler is a little of center. I hope to hear something soon......<p>Nick Snyder
