Default Audi Exhaust

Anyone have experience with the Audi S4 Cat Back stainless exhaust system advertised in the accessories catalog for $895? How does it compare w/ Borla/Neuspeed etc. performance and price-wise? Can you post a pic? Appreciate it.

BTW - Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Default Re: Audi Exhaust

When I picked up my S4 from the dealer I found this exhaust in the Audi collection catalog. I asked the parts department what the increase in HP would be. They did not know and said that they would call Audi and get the information. I received a call-back yesterday, according to Audi the exhaust is good for a maximum HP increase of 2HP. It appears that the exhaust is more for show than go. Hope this helps with your decision.

Default If Audi is going to start their own line of aftermarket products......

they should at least have the sense to make them competitive to what's out there. What's the point otherwise?

Default Hard to believe ...

that a true cat back exhaust would only provide 2 additional HP - wonder if that's right. Agree that it's not worth buying that system if just for show - if I'm going to chip my car, would make sense to install an exhaust that would add HP and take some load off the turbos.

Default Warranty anxiety over a cat-back exhaust!!??.......

How about the fact that Porsche offers a 24hp engine power upgrade as a factory option on their 911 Carrera with full warranty?
