DIY for God's sake...

Source your center muffler from eBay... get a stainless steel Magnaflow 6" round or 4" round muffler, pick out a rear muffler (you get what you pay for), have your installer bend some 2.5" pipe, and wa-la. Oh, and if in doubt, replace those converters; again, 2.5" Magnaflow "hi-flow" converters are like $30 / each on eBay. Oh, you'll also need a Y-pipe- Magnaflow has a SS one for around $50, which your installer can probably get you from their muffler parts supplier.
Going through reciepts... my overall component cost was about $250... except mine included 20' of stainless 2.5" pipe i got on eBay too. My install was free, but I would say the average muffler shop would charge about $200 to do the fabrication for you. Oh, run over to Home Depot and get yourself a 4' piece of 5/8" bar stock to make the center bracket/hanger where the dual mufflers once were.
Not only does mine sound BAD *** ( I used a REAL Remus rear muffler ), but there's power that wasn't there before too from opening it up.
For reference, see Miktip's or Hokie_90's website for something similar to what I did.

Its a bit tougher to DIY on a quattro, especially a B3.
Exhaust is not nearly as straight as a B4's is.
If you can DIY, then do so. But otherwise, my only complaint about the Stebro is weight. I still like it though.
