Catback help.. okay, first of all, I have picked out the bbk headers and 2.5 ory to get this spring... keep that in mind. my car is also an a4.
I'm looking for a catback that would give me a decent amount of sound volume around 2500 rpms or so... I guess this stems from my absolute hatred for seeing an a4 car go by and hearing no sound after it passes. I currently have a Flowmaster (40 series?), and I don't really have the rumble I'm looking for. I find myself driving around in 2nd and 3rd gear sometimes to get the sound where I like it. I don't really like the idea of having a loudmouth exhaust with lts and no cats either. I thought maybe a cutout, but I honestly don't know where to even begin with that. thanks in advance for the help.

Either go TSP Duals or hooker catback!! Alot of people will say magnaflow, but i wasnt impressed with it and i switched to duals. So much better. Hooker has a deep, and muscular rumble sound.

I was planning on doing a whole new catback when I get my new longtubes installed. I am definitely shying away TDs though because I want to get the car lowered, and I live in central Il where the roads are ****.

ya i'm from chicago, i'm running the flowmaster catback with the 40 series muffler on it...pacesetters LT's just got here, along with the dump. the cops around me suck so anything louder than a honda gets pulled over lol. I would go on youtube and look at some videos of different catback systems to get an idea. also, there should be a 'sticky' of ls1sounds
Honest if your looking for loud,and looking to keep a cheap budget,you can pick up a lm1 for under 140,I can't even sell the one I have and I'm pretty much giving it away lol,and if it ever was to much throw a borla xr1,or magnaflow bullet in there and it sounds much better,
