Default best exhaust setup for 4.2

I have searched the forums but have had no luck in finding a good exhaust setup for my 4.2, besides a used RS6 SE exhaust which are hard to find (been looking for quite some time).
Any good ideas, such as magnaflow or borla mufflers, along with deletion of center muffler? Don't want the camaro sound ;-)

Default Yes, very hard to find the OEM RS6 Sound Enhanced setup...

...but if you are persistent, and cruise ALL the forums (including AW, Audizine, Audi Forums, VW Vortex, RS6.com, etc. etc.) you just ahve to jump in right away if someone even hints about upgrading their RS6 exhaust.

I've been successful finding three OEM RS6 sound enhanced exhaust setups when I was actively searching. Two ended up being simultaneous, sold the other setup to a local guy, and the other I was searching for someone else.

Trust me, the sound is intoxicating!!!
