Default Someone on the A8 forum just did this >

He did a comparison video between the stock h-pipe, and his new x-pipe. His car sounds much better with the x-pipe, so that's what I'd go with.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/164510.phtml">click</a></li></ul>

Default I have the X pipe removed on mine....

with the stock mufflers. Maybe a little more growl, but it feels a little smoother. Considering just cutting the mufflers and doing straight pipe. It didn't sound that bad at the exhaust shop when they did a comparo for me.
