The car looks nice with the springs on, but I was impressed by the exhaust. Is it an S6 exhaust? How much did the parts and installation cost you?

its just the S6 rear valence and dual tips.

no performance gains...no change in sound.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/c6a6/msgs/44092.phtml">http://forums.audiworld.com/c6a6/msgs/44092.phtml</a</li></ul>

Thanks. It's actually just Porsche 911 tips. Had to cut off the OEM tips and weld on the new ones. You can occassionally find a deal on those tips used on ebay for about $100. I ordered the S6 valence from the dealer for $200. The labor was about $100. The key is getting the outlet aligned right in the center of the valance openings.

There is a slot under the trunk which makes the tips adjustable. But you have to enlarge the slot with a tool or saw to allow even more movement to bring the tips closer in to the center of the car.

to the center, as it would not leave enough clearance around the inner sides of the mufflers. So he just welded on a slight S-shape pipe to redirect the muffler outlet to the center of the valence openings.
I told him that others have just adjusted the muffler in, but he claimed you need to have 1"-2" clearance around the muffler. I'm not sure if that's the gas tank or spare tire well between the mufflers..
