The exhaust on my Audi 80 has seen better days so I am looking to replace it in the near future.

Can anyone recommend a decent aftermarket setup? I've had a browse around and can't find anything obvious but it would be nice to fit a lighter system that allows the engine to breathe well and sound nice without being brash or beancan-like.
The closer to factory standard in appearence, the better too.

I have had an 80 2.8E quattro and a 2.8 coupe quattro. The coupe i had one cat blowing when i bought it so i replaced the exhaust from the manifold back with a powerflow system. Living in NE scotland i didint have a lot of choice at the time to be honest and a local Powerflow lot where rated highly. A single sports cat makes it breathe a bit easier. I wanted it to look as close to OEM as possible and kept the 3 silceners and a twin exit at the rear. but be careful as i have heard some Powerflow sysmtes being quite boomy, especially with 2 or less silencers and be VERY careful on the height of the system. The centre silencer on mine was a speed hump magnet.

Cost i pasi £450 for mine 5 years ago, £350 without a CAT.

But on the whole it opened up the engine note a lot more.

If i had the choice, i would get a long life system, they have a good reputation.
