I think I should have put a little more rubber, but oh well next time.
Anyone have any suggestions on exhaust ? I'm having a hard time even finding anything for the A8.

not a whole lot of the shelf and what there is will cost you $1600+ from what I have seen.
another approach which a few people includding me took was to delete the rear muffler. I first did this and had straight pipe running to the back, this sounded great but got a bit drony on the highway so I had them add in two small resonarots right before the tips and it cleared up all the extra drone and left the aggressive tone.
cant get the multiple links to work so to hear it without the resonators chekc the other 2 videos that are also uploaded.
also the car seems to respond better plus you wouldnt believe how heavy that rear muffler was.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0k5Iuy3mJo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0k5Iuy3mJo</a</li></ul>

Just this week I removed the resonater on the exhaust system (01 A8L). I replaced it with a Magnaflow X-Pipe.
Sounds great. X pipe was $90. and it cost $200. to install it, along with Magnaflow tips.

My regular mechanic owns a 225, lowered 1.5", 18" wheels and bigger exhaust, so I'm in good hands:-)
