I like my Hooker catback. There is no droning on the inside, which was my main concern. Droning is worse in A4's and when you add a high stall convertor, it is amplified.

If you like loud exhausts, I would say get the Borla. My brother has the Borla (3/4 open plate) on his Formula, and with a lid being the only other mod, his car is much louder than mine is, even with all the mods I have.

The 224/224 cam will work with a blower, but blowers like split cams better like 208/220, 220/224, 224/230, etc.

I just picked up an 02 WS6 with a Hooker catback. It sounds nice at idle, but when crusing it's quite.
