I went with a custom exhaust. 3 inch pipe from the Y back with a single flowmaster muffler. Yeah, it's got a mullet muffler but it sounds good IMO.

Why not cut the exhaust back a little & add a nice tip, or duel tips?
To me it should not only look cool, but sound cool. If I see a single tip on a S4, my thoughts
are it's a A4 1.8 with fake badges.[&o]

IMHO,Apexi on a S4 is r!ce. Sorry but a big single outlet hanging down low is just cheap, it's even worse if you have AWE DP's.

that's what counts.

There is NO DRONE anywhere with the ASP exhaust. Avants are the ones who have some droning problems with cat backs. I know the AWE Twin 1 is one of them.
ASP is a little louder them AWE T2 or Miltek.

Regardless though - it would seem that my days with the Apexi are numbered...shame - I really do like the exhaust...lol

Drone w/ASP - just what I heard. From your vid and others I've seen (never knowingly have I heard ASP pipes in person) - sounds great. Similar intensity (perhaps just a bit louder) - but slightly different sound that what I currently get.

You know the cats are in the DP's, if you add test pipes you will have to cut up the DP's.
If your happy with it, then that's all that counts. Our opinions are our own.

I like that single tip look, some S4's pull it off nicely. I read an artice in Sport Compact Car (it's not a ricer magazine, it's actually extremely insightful and the best car performance mag out there) they featured a private owners SCCA 2000 S4, stock paint, no decals really, so it had anice street look. He had a 4 inch single tip and it looked bitchin. I'll try to post the article later.

I'm surprised your system doesn't drone.

Damn, I would have killed for an Nogaro S4 Avant. I watched for 5 months and never found one (that wasnt over $20k).
I dunno, I kinda like the single tip on the AVANT. A single tip can look pretty sick.
