Default Thinking about getting the Abt exhaust along with the Abt chip. Opinions?

<center><img src="http://personal.inet.fi/surf/photos/A6/A6_exhaust.jpg"></center><p>I'm not looking for extra performance, I just want the car to look a bit more sporty. I'm just wondering if the Abt exhaust is a bit too much. Maybe it breaks the lines of the rear end?

When I first saw this exhaust I thought it looked horrible but I've started to like the looks of it more and more over time, hmmm...

My car is the same color as the car in this photo I took about a year ago.

Default If you're not looking for extra performance, then what's the chip for?

I think the tips of the exhaust stick out too far. I don't mind seeing them, but not that much of them.

Chip is for performance, exhaust only for looks! I also think the tips stick out a bit too far.

Nope I meant I'm not expecting any extra performance from the Abt exhaust.

Default Have you tought of the lltek kit?

<center><img src="http://www.lltek.com/images/A6_exhst_installed_blcktrim700.jpg"></center><p>it include the two black bezels to fit the valence and also include the exhaust tips. Now you just need to paint it all.
This kit look more OEM then the ABT one.<ul><li><a href="http://www.lltek.com/a6_s6_flexadjust_exhaust.htm">direct link to lltek web site</a></li></ul>

Default Re: Thinking about getting the Abt exhaust along with the Abt chip. Opinions?

I have been toying with that idea for a long long time, was going to do it a month ago, but was told to hold off for a short while. Have this photochop of what I wanted it to look like.(Muhammad did it)..
The abt is real real expensive, if I remember somthing like $2500 just for the tips(or muffler and tips, wasnt a full catback system), doesnt include the labor for the cutouts.
YOu can have a real good shop do the tips and cuts for you for alot less money.

A catback exhaust will help you flow better, spool up will be quicker, better punch top end. Plus the weight savings over stock.

As far as a chip do you have manual or Tip??

Default it looks like it's going to shoot at me! ;)

it's a bit too much for my taste. It'd be nice if you could find some rs6-type oval tips!

Default I'm thinking of adding quad tips to the APR system - about 1300 total..

I want the M5 look instead of trying to be a RS6 wanna-be with the Forge like I thought I wanted originally...

Can't mod the Brullen - I actually like it more over time but I'm still restless.... the sound of it is getting better and better however !!

Regards,
