Default Bummer - the RS6 I bought does not have sound-enhanced exhaust
What to do? Obv the stealer would be happy to sell me the 'offcial' sound-enhanced exhaust for a small fortune, and I see that stratmosphere sells a full Milltek system for the RS6, and there may be others...

What systems have others installed? Impressions? would it invalidate the warrantee?

Default didn't you notice this before you bought the car?
black tips vs silver tips...8^)

the only warrantee that would be invalid is for the exhaust you would be removing.

Default As a person with the 'standard' exhaust I really don't think you will care in the end unless you
really want black exhaust tips...performance is no different and honestly I cannot tell really any significant sound difference to care. This being at several gatherings with 4 other RS6s. It is loud enough and impressive as is. Everyone one of my friends and dates can hear me coming and going...

Default I actually have never laid eyes on it yet....
I bought it sight unseen, but based on color I wanted, the fact that its immaculate (or so i am told), has only had a single owener who never tracked it, comes with an Audi CPO's and ..... drum roll please.....has only 9K miles on it!

The exhaust would not have been a deal breaker, even had I known...

Default Mark's right. Don't worry about it, but see if you can get the dealer to "compensate"...
...by adding some doodad...maybe all-weather mats on the house.

Default here is a little tip if you want to hear more sound~~put the backseat down
and a lot more exhaust noise will come into the cabin.

FWIW, a pre-purchase inspection would've been a good investment. It ALWAYS is. Trust me on that.

Pardon the noob, silver tips = stock; black = enhanced, or visa versa?
