Default Need LT's and y-pipe suggestions!

Just recently got a stock 02 A4 SS. I want to get some good LT's and catted y-pipe with good clearance. I plan on lowerering the car about 3/4 of an inch. I do want to keep the SLP dual/dual it has now though. Any suggestions for a powerful LT/y-pipe combo that will suit me. Thanks

Save yourself the hassle of when you will change your mind later.
Get some ceramic coated pacesetter long tubes and a rumbler x true dual set up...one of the most powerful/best sounding/lightest/cost efficient setups around. about 800 bucks and you will have an awesome exhaust.

Especially since you are going to be lowering you car don't go with the SLP lt's. There are some good brands. I hear that Hooker lt's bolt right up and have no trouble with ground clearance.

I would go with the QTPs, the best long tube and Y pipe combo out there IMO.

I would say go with some Kook's LTs and TSP true duals. Can't beat the sound. I would stay away from the ORY with Catback. I got tired of that sound real quick.

I think you better compare the quality of Stainlessworks, first. Especially if you are going to purchase a Y-Pipe.

I agree from what I've been reading Stainlessworks are putting out a top quality product also.

Used only, but most people wouldn't have a reason to sell their qtps.
