Default ready for exhaust system

I am ready to pull the trigger on an exhaust. Any reviews or suggestions?

Has anyone seen improved proformance with just a muffler?

I am probably going for the whole system, I hear that some "Cat-Back" systems do not include the down pipe.?. Something about a flex flange-back??

Any input appreciated.

Default A cat back system on an audi A4 HAS to have a downpipe.

The cat is directly bolted to the turbo. After that it's exhaust.

Unless your Jeff Davidson.

Default You asked for advice: my personal opinion, go with APR...

it's very high quality and looks pretty. Be prepared to work a little to get it to fit and have th tips remain centered. It takes patience, but the result is worthwhile.

That's all been completely addressed.

Default Actually, I just got mine in the Dec. sale and the minor fitment problems persist.

I DO have a 99, so perhaps there is some minor change on 2000-01 models. Again, the minor problems are not detrimental, but they do need to be addressed. Perhaps I simply got an older exhaust that was laying around since before the problems were fixed. But if I did, so could others.
