I wanted the LM2 but it wasnt in stock, so I was thinking of putting the Dynomax bullet in its place

No they're saying slp lt's are junk. Dont listen about this backpressure bullshit, that has nothing to do with this, thats an old wives tale. Get a hooker catback and dotn have to deal with the bullshit. It's loud at wot and nice and quiet for driving.

i made 348 and 369 with pace Lts, TSP ORY, loudmouth for my exhaust and lid and bellow with my a4. i never got any runs with my stock exhaust, since your a m6 u would probly make 10-15 more hoses.
my LM has a annoying drone at 55-60 mph but i got used to it. it tends to put the people who ride in the backseats asleep. I'll prob end up going true duels in a few months(y-pipe was a present from my girlfriend so gota have that on for a while)

Don't worry about the lack of "backpressure". You NEVER want backpressure, what people confuse it with is exhaust gas velocity. Even so, you will be fine.
What you do need to worry about are the SLP headers being about as expensive as the suprior qtp/kooks, very hard to install, and bad ground clearance. Also, in the opinion of the majority the loudmouth sounds like
with no cats. Sure, it's loud, but it rasps and sounds like a dump truck with the exhaust cut off. I say run cats and maybe put a bullet style muffler in place of the resonator or get a different cat-back.

mine tended to have a horrible drone between ~67 to 75 on the highway in sixth gear. How did I solve the problem? I drove at least 80.
