Default Im considering buying one, but is it too loud for a daily driver?

my commute isnt that long and my wife's A3 will be the main weekend car when it arrives.


I need a new exhaust because my borla got creamed by a huge rock.

The sound clips of the ASP tru-dual sound good.

Default The exhaust has a real nice tone, slightly louder than an AWE Twin 2, but not...

over the top. If you want something quiet, I don't know if I would suggest it. In order to make a dual exhaust quiet, I would think that another set of mufflers like the AWE Twin 2 would be the only way to accomplish it. That unfortunately does not free flow as much as 1 set with resonators. Just comes down to what level of sound you want coupled with the level of performance. With my car, the combination of 200 cell cats with the Autospeed Tru Dual is simply awesome.

Default I've only had a borla, but from the rankings I've seen on AW, its not on the quiet end

I wonder how much louder than the borla, the ASP exhaust is?

How is the ASP for long drives?

I have stock cats, btw.

Default I can probably comment more as I get my car back. I drove to CT with Mark for the EPL...

dyno day and it seemed perfect. From my understanding, they seem to quiet down a little after a couple of miles.

Default I haven't heard a borla in person yet, but I will have one in a week or so

My friend (Illusive90) has an ASP so we can do a side by side comparo for ya :-) The ASP sounds beautiful, much better than my current VM3 (IMO of course). However the ASP is still pretty loud. Deeper and a more "tuned" sound than the VM3 but definitly not a quiet (ie: milltek) exhaust.

Default that would be great, thanks!

I might have to order by the end of this week/beginning of next though as my car currently sounds horrible.
