    Stock exhaust (SE especially) is very unrestrictive.

    Turbine and Cats are the restriction. Turbine outlet is very restrictive due to the design, the turbulence of the waste gate and the odd shape of the outlet is a huge factor. Cant fix this, so take taking the cats out is the best we can do.

    They are still in in process, I expect they should be done soon but will need a guinea pig to test fit them as I no longer have an RS6.

    Any tuner...Revo, APR, AMD, EPL (closer to you), Eurocharged, Viper. Just get a stage two generally that will code out secondary O2, all you have to worry about is emissions. Have you driven a tuned car yet? World of difference!

    I would buy a set 100%. IF they are quality just like someone said earlier. Everything is going to crap OEM these days for the older models. I would even have them install it. Once you know what you're doing you can drop the pipes in 2 hours..I say that theoretically. I went with dropping everything and it took me 1 day to do it...then 17 to put it back together with a mechanic at my side the entire time. Although we did take our time and he was showing me everything.
