Sports Exhaust S4 B7 Auto Cab

[AJS77]

With Audi telling me at the last service that some of the exhaust support brackets are corroded and on their last legs, I figured that's justification enough to start looking to upgrade the whole exhaust system.

The Milltek system seems to be the preferred choice so wondering whether anyone has any recommendations of suppliers in Wiltshire (SN9), and whether resonated / non-resonated is best (not sure I even understand the difference) bearing in mind the car is a cabriolet and not used regularly.

Any thoughts and advice gratefully received, or indeed whether there are any other options to the Milltek system.

The Milltek system is a quality item and well proven/regarded.

I like the resonated, personally. It's got a gentle but pleasing burble under normal use and an amusing level of thunder under WOT. It does not drone on the motorway and isn't so loud it will annoy anyone. It retains the standard layout with centre and rear boxes.

The non-resonated version is straight through to the back boxes. It has no centre boxes (or 'resonators') and has a habit of droning at motorway speeds. This drone is annoying. The volume level is amusing when you're in the mood but to my mind takes away from the usability of the car and will annoy people with early starts.

If however a full-on Nascar impression is what you're after...

Thanks for the note - any recommendations on where to get it fitted...?

Try Dialynx near Swindon.

Alternatives such as MRC tuning or Unit20 are further away.

Thanks for the recommendation. I e-mailed Keith at DiaLynx and went to see them yesterday. Car booked in for Oct 7th. Went resonated in the end, especially after Keith showed me RS4 running with non-resonated - great noise...but for the sake of my neighbours...

Great stuff!

If you can, pop a little video up for us after fitting. It's a beautiful sounding motor that left the factory well-corked.

Exhaust replacement day looms....this Saturday I suspect a lot of super unleaded will be burnt...

Well it's fitted and...I LOVE IT!

Top job and service from Keith and colleague at Dialynx; wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high quality work on Audis. Mine will be back to them for servicing and other bits and pieces from now on.
