I had that feeling it would be quite loud since it's already night and day just by swapping out the rear 2 mufflers.
Maybe you should do a dyno pull or two before swapping back just to see if you gained more power

Not that worried about the hp diff as I never did any dyno runs when tuning and or new wheels and tires...
oh well, it was worth a try and now WE all know
here is an acceleration video in D with windows up and all:
It actually sounds good outside the car, but inside (in person) is horrible
Will be dropping it off in the morning to probably insert a center muffler....

From the video clip, it doesn't sound that bad. But I'm sure you're probably hearing a lot of drone.
Good luck with the mid muffler. Which brand are you installing?

Will do... should be done by tmo...
very odd that at full throttle it sounds about the same with or without center and primary silencer
but less than full throttle and without is horrendous

Thanks to Techm8n for the impetus !
Here tis: http://youtu.be/Iqy4n7tnal8
put another good flowing magnaflow in place of the straight pipe I had tried and seemed to be much better...
we'll see as it burns in a bit as it is still borderline a lil raucous...
but all good flowing mufflers, now the wife wants the newer model with the 3.0T
when does that come out ?!?

Dynomax part#24246. "provide up to a 4 dbA sound reduction"
I'd like the 3.0t Q5 too. But I think it'll be more cost effective if I upgrade to the APR K04 turbo for $2999.
313hp/367lb-ft trq.

Maybe your wife will approve this upgrade.
. You'll be the first Q5 here with a APR K04 turbo.
