Default My Q5 Magnaflow custom exhaust

Here's my Magnaflow custom exhaust. I removed the Primary Silencer with a straight pipe. Replaced the Center silencer with a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler. Then replaced the two Secondary silencers with two 2.25" Magnaflow mufflers. The piping where it splits are 2.25" so I used a 2.25" muffler instead of a 2.5". This will eliminate the need of re-piping. Tips are 4" Magnaflow tips. Although I wish I went with the smaller tips that I'm recommending below.

One Center muffler - Magnaflow #11366, 2.5" in/out
Two Back muffler - Magnaflow #14362, 2.25" in/out
Two Tips - Magnaflow #35158, Rolled-Oval-Angle Cut Tip

Sound has low deep tone. Very sporty without being too loud.

Overall performance improved. Little bit more top end power and turbo spools a bit quicker. It's no APR tune, but it'll do for now. Once my warranty expires, she'll get the APR tune. Then maybe the APR KO4 turbo upgrade.
