Any questions you say! (I'm sorry for I have many)
First off, Wow!
When you have more road time, I'd like to hear your impressions overall.
But for now, whatever you can share.
My first concerns (as with any mod), fit and long term durability, which = noise. Any noises, please advise.
How is the exhaust note? Have you heard an RS 6 to compare?
Price, source, installer, installation fee.
Were you present during the process, is it plug and play with the exhaust? How was the valence fabricated? (<edited> I see some other posts have answered this so nevermind that one).
This one's for everyone, I thought problems may arise with use of an exhaust designed for a turbo on a NA engine?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions. With black tips, I can definitely see that on my car.
Enjoy!

As for durability...it's all Audi factory S/S exhaust so it should last a while. The fit was perfect. The pipes are made to fit the larger 4.2 body, which is what the RS6 is built on. Even all the pipe hangers were in the exact places as my original system. The only difference is the diameters of the pipes, for which I had to make small adapters.
The only noise is the low rumble tone of the exhaust. It may be a little much for some, but it's not unbearable. I do intend on installing sound dampening material in the trunk araea because Audi does not have any in that area and it acts like a large tin can amplifying low tones.
I saw an RS6 the other day at the local plaza and I can honestly say that it was quieter than my system. My system sounds a little more like the factory stock American muscle cars did in the late '60s. The twin turbo system in the RS6 does a lot to quiet down the exhaust.
The exhaust was installed by Borla East in Lebanon, NJ for $200. They had to make 2 S/S adapters and everything else fit as if it were made for this car.
The valence was cut-out using a template I designed based on the exhaust center lines of the original systems and the RS6 system.
