Default Well...I'm going to be ordering an exhaust in 2 weeks or so.... which one-APR or ABT?

Pro's and Con's I can think of

APR:
<b>Pro's:</b>
Full catback + downpipe
$1000
Supposedly one of the best fitting systems out there
<b>Con's:</b>
Single tips =(

ABT
<b>Pro's:</b>
Quad tips look badass imo.
<b>Con's:</b>
Not a full catback w/ downpipe
Probably a bit more expensive then APR, especially after buying bumper bezels.
Silver bumper bezels might look out of place on my brilliant black lowers.

Anyone have any input? My brain is telling me to go with the APR, seems like I'm getting more for less money that route, but the quad tips on the abt look so badass! I can't decide!

If your only pro is Quad tips, you can always cut the tips off the APR exhaust and put a splitter.

Default If you want to wait a little over a week...

i am having my GHL exhaust on next fri when i get back east from CA. will be posting pics and thoughts about performance of the new exhaust. A4NCAR also got a GHL as well as Darin45, you may want to ask them as well. (only has single tips though but it is cat back and performance is supposed to be good).

current mods (02 A4 1.8T Q Manual):
GIAC chip
Bailey diverter

Default Going to the GTG tomorrow ? AMS car will be there.

Hear it. Sounds like a TT 225. Not noisy, but menacing when you punch it hard. No drone ever !

Default I live in NorCal, but AMS is in SoCal. I won't be make it

to this show ( unfortunately ), because my other half is time trialing at Laguna Seca. I'm pit crew/camera crew ;-)

The AMS A4 has an Abt/AMS test chip running approx 200hp, Abt exhaust, Abt custom KW coilovers, the new AMS short shifter ( adjustable for 3 different throws, self lubricating bearings, **** height, and fits both slotted and screw on ***** ), and of course the entire Abt body kit.

Thanks for the kind words ! :-)
