Don`t tell me check the archieves but there is almost anything about it. <br>Does anyone have any information about this system like cost, increase in HP and torque, sound.... My Brullen catback (not from LLTek) was here and my car was in the shop today but the system did not fit. It is only 2 inches higher than the ground when installed. My tuner put my old system back on and now we are looking for a different system. I want to learn more about Klasse. What I want is increse in power and torque, a nice look and M3 kind of noise. I am also open to other suggestions but I don`t want to spend more than 750.

I have had a Stebro stainless steel performance cat-back exhaust system for about two weeks now. It costs about $680 for the A4 2.8, $655 for the 1.8T. The system is entirely stainless steel with polished dual tips. Stebro claims a horsepower increase of 5.5% for the 2.8 (which I have), probably slightly higher for the 1.8T. Also, their exhausts come with a lifetime warranty.<p>The sound is aggressive and throaty under hard acceleration up to about 3500 rpm. At steady speed, it is just slightly louder than stock, and the difference is barely noticeable at highway cruising speed. Throttle response & acceleration are definitely improved. Stebro recommends a K&N filter to maximize the performance increase. <p>Rich D.<br>98.0 A4 2.8 QM

I would say that Stebro are undoubtably the "Cat Back Best Buy". Cheap, powerful (makes a big difference in acceleration above 70mph),good sound, great warranty, tech company - I've been there.<br>GK<br>1998.5 2.8 30v Q 5spd (RamAir,TAP,Stebro)

I have to agree with RichD and Greg K.... Stebro is an excellent system. Relatively inexpensive compare to other stainless system out there ($800 and up).<br>I, too, was thinking of the Klaesse system,... heard great comments on the system itself, but ... aluminized steel?!? All I could think about at that point was... some years down the line... the pipes will rot out and well... time to plunk down another $650 for the Klaesse - again? <br>Just my 2 cents, of course.<p>Cris

Greg K had pics posted of the Stebro system on his 2.8, but the archive is kinda screwed up... I tried to look for it, but it's nowhere to be found. It's not your everyday big name system: HKS, Remus...etc. But in my opinion, it's the best priced S-S system out there...<p>Cris<ul><li><a href="http://infoweb.magi.com/~andypet/">Stebro's website</a></li></ul>
