Since you mentioned the AA mid section, I believe that cuts weight and adds a little power (so not just for sound), not to mention it saves having to cut your stock exhaust to change out the droopy rear section. Having said that, I personally prefer to leave emissions equipment (primary/secondary cats) in tact, so I probably will remain stock or just get an axle back. I'm probably not in the target market for this, so just my $.02.

I'm in the market for an exhaust, and since the car already weighs so dang much, I don't really care if an UEL setup weighs 10 lbs less than a EL setup. It's such a tiny margin that it won't matter. I'm just looking for what sounds the best and what is priced appropriately. Both of those criteria are purely opinions. |

I am just curious any distributor here in USA market selling Bastuck exhaust?? This definitely sounds amazing to me, and it's not too loud to put off my neighbors.

Is Akrapovic the best exhaust solution given the below:
- slip on solution needed (I want to keep the full warranty for the car, so no tune) - OPF in place (I guess my car has the OPF but I am not sure. Any help is much appreciated. the production date is Sept 2018, made for German market) - it should be reasonably loud without any drone |

The new Milltek equal length system is super raspy... Doesn't tame the S55 sound at all, IMO.

I agree, that's pretty disappointing.

No confusion. I just believe if this EL sounds so tinny, that the original would be no different. The UEL Milltek video I watched had high flow down pipes and full exhaust, so who knows what just the cat back sounds like.

Starting at 7:24 you can hear the exhaust in comfort and sports+ That's with full turbo back. Would be quieter leaving stock cats. |

If you look at the comparison pic between the old and the new setup @ around the 52 second mark in the video, you will notice that the old setup has an additional muffler/resonator which is not present in the new setup The additional muffler in the original design cuts down considerably on the rasp |

I have the Milltek original exhaust with ECE muffler and I asked them if I can pair the EL pipe with the central resonator, this is the reply.

Mine doesn’t sound like that...
I still have all the cats and OPF’s in place so perhaps they actually help with the sound? The only time makes a noise remotely like the one in the video is when the engine is cold - once warm it’s fine. It sounds so much better when going through the gears, and as ever, trying to pick out the sound on a computers speakers isn’t ever going to give a true reflection. |
