Default Sometimes I wish...
I hadn't gotten the bi-pipe. I've had zero problems with it and no complaints but sometimes I wonder if it was the smartest thing to do. I could have bought a kevlar boot or something and saved money and not have to deal with the PITA installation of the bi-pipe. I guess it's a toss up, expensive & no worries=bi-pipe, cheaper & little worrying=upgraded tbb.

Default OEM TBB and get the MTM TBB brace.
Just don't overtighten the clamps!

Default APR Bi-Pipe, because it gets rid of the problem
Even Audi realized metal was better but was too cheap to use it on the S4. Take a look at the RS4 boot. Then again, the S4 intake was only designed for 10 psi.
