Exhaust - Sound Advice Required..

[StewartW]

Dear Group,

Ive recently bought a RS6 C7 PE and need some advice and options for replacing the exhausts..I love the sound when in dynamic / individual mode but would really like something a bit deeper and permanently open..Am I correct in thinking that you cant just replace the rear boxes and need to also consider the valve timing, fuels maps etc..I do like the Lichfield / Remus system but don't have the budget for a Full System / Stage 2 Upgrade.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated budget about £1000.

Pictures below for guidance / appreciation

Welcome, and as I got told when I joined last year - Rule No.1: FON

Can't answer your question, though I'm sure there's many on here who have more technical knowledge than me who will be able to help you, but your car looks a cracker, enjoy!

Full system looks expensive and I’m in the same boat as you. I want something a bit more. I think the stage 2 looks good and they replace the Downpipe. MRC or QST seem better than litchfield for Audis.

I’ve heard of some guys going to custom exhausts.

I don’t think I want a full system as I figure it could be to loud even just in comfort mode if on the motorway?

Good luck with the search!

Its a very grey area - hard to tell just listening to cars on YouTube. I've done Brondex catless downpipes as my starting point. This gives you a similar amount of sound down low in dynamic, but when it comes on boost the thing absolutely rips - sounds like world war 2 from outside the car.

If you just want a little more noise then standard, i'd look at something like the APR catback - either with or without the center muffler. Cheapest I've found going around and it looks like very decent quality.

My next step is going to be to fabricate a custom x-merge and deleting the center muffler - this should smooth out the tone (less thong clappy), and give me some extra decibels down low.

Here is how mine sounds now

Thank you, agree on not needing a full system. Ive contacted MRC and will hopefully get some much needed advice on options..they are also local so might pop down over the weekend for some friendly advice

Thanks Josh, sounds lovely and do like the low sound. As noted on previous thread Im going to a local specialist for some advice but do like the APR system

I am sure that you are right that they look. But they may not be thinking what you think they are thinking...

Thanks Tadass910, I been over to YouTube and heard a few systems today, agree the Miltek does sound nice and also don't want to change the downpipes (yet)
