S6 C4 exhaust

[Duffelcoat]

Hi

I need to replace my exhaust at some time soon. It is okay now, but I have been warned if I sneeze in the car it might all fall off and disintegrate!

What options do I have,

I would like it to be as standard as possible noise wise, and am thinking I could do with downpipe all the way back and maybe do the exhaust manifold at the same time

None of this will be fitted in the near future as I will wait until my current insurance expires.

Is it possible to get racing cats, or something performance enhancing etc.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Richard

Stromung is the defacto option. http://www.stromungexhaust.com/92-95...r-quattro.html I will want one next year around April time, if you can wait that long could do a group buy / shared shipping deal. 034 motorsport do something similar IIRC it's slightly cheaper but might not include the downpipe. don't think you will get quiet unless you put a new factory system on, and that won't necessarily be any cheaper. A few people make cat back only systems and there may be some NOS bargains out there but if you can afford to, replace the lot with a Stromung or 034 system.

Looks good, do you think it will be noisy? Or can be specially made to be quiet! LOL

Does this include cats do you know,

Thanks for your help

Includes a cat. Early ones were noisy, latest generation supposedly less so, post up on Quattroworld about it lots if people on there have them. Noisier in an Avant than a saloon allegedly

the one on that avant i just broke was a corker,only just found out where it was made.Light,nice welding and not noisy or boomy at all,only downside is they are in newcastle which isn't exactly on your doorstep

They never are close (to me!)

You tell me now that you have sold the exhaust from the breaker too...

I had an 034 system on mine, I only ordered with one silencer, as the middle one looked like it would scrape. My god, was it loud - long journeys were unbearable, the drone was worse!
In the end I had Hayward and Scott custom fit a back box. It's now quite, but still drones a little on the motorway. I might have a resonator fitted in the future to cure this.
If I was you, I'd go for the Strommung system, as the system has been constantly developed and is now 3rd ir 4th generation. .

Thanks for that, I really want to try and keep the sound the same, is a Longlife exhaust worth considering?

Only mention as there is a place relatively near me that does them!

I don't have any personal experience of Longlife exhausts; but have heard good things about them.
Just noticed that you're in Bournemouth too.

There is another member I came across in Ferndown, so maybe we should do a nano meet sometime!

Have you still got you URs?

Does anyone have any videos of what this sounds like?

Is there drone on the highway?

[jaychen]

Just found this,

not sure what revision it is though..

I had a custom 3" exhaust (including downpipe and sports cat) fitted by a company near Cardiff (would have to look up details)

Works brilliantly. Not noisy, but nice and bassy when idling. The chap there knows his stuff and will make it as quiet/noisy as you like. Cost about £700 for everything fitted IIRC

[macspring]

Longlife is only as good as the person putting it together for you. This forum has a number of threads that mention one or two people around the UK that have made up systems for other users, and therefore have experience of these cars.

Err on having what you think is too many boxes, i.e with a 3" sytem two normal boxes, and a long skinny one at the front to further reduce the noise and / or drone.

Busy this morning, but will post up a few suggestions of places this weekend.

Ironically, while hearing the I5 is cool, after a while I got irked with everyone else being able to hear me / standing out al the time in trafftic, and so went back to a standard sytsem. And my custom system lies idle in the garage.

If it was me, I buy NOS, and buy the cat bypass pipes from Ultimot.de.

The other thing to look out for is the ground clearance on a urS6, it seems to be more of an issue than on a B4, when both cars are lowered.

Would be worth trying to find someone who has a "Stromung", (not sure of the spelling just right now), as they have repeatedly sought to refine and improve it. UrS4boy, aka Dave, may know more ?

All of the above is just purely my own opinion. See what others think, and then decide.

Yes I still have my S6. But she's off the road at present If I decide to get her back on the road, I'll start a new thread.
