I like your sound clip, and the exhaust looks great. So it was a kit you picked up? Does the muffler keep the pipes seperate inside?

I had the Bassani "Tru-Dual" exhaust kit, it comes with everything you see here:



And you ask a very good question about the muffler that comes with the Bassani system...the answer is no there is a chamber inside the muffler, basically an open space, where the pipes connect, but the reality is, it makes no difference, by the time the exhaust has gotton that far it's cooled off enough to not make any difference whatsoever.

To prove it, I welded in a TRUE dual-in dual-out muffler in place of the Bassani, and saw absolutely no difference on the dyno. You can read about this project here:

That kit looked pretty complete with plenty of clearance and the sound is great. What doe$ it run?

Are you using shorty headers or LTs, and does the kit work with either?

The kit is complete, iirc the price for the stainless steel version is $945, and the price for the aluminized version is $775, or something close. You can get them from Vincci HP one of the sponsers ---------------------->

It is designed out of the box to hook up to stock manifolds because that's the longest configuration you need to have. But with a little work by your exhaust guy you can easily hook it up to LTs.

Good advice!! SFC's are a GREAT mod and get a converter before a set of LT's, hands down no argument!! The only people telling you to get LT's first are m6 guys, take the advice from a stalled a4 owners And a 3500 is by no means too loose. A shift kit with a larger stall will take some of the looseness out of the part throttle shifts and make for nice firm quick shifts at WOT. I only went with 1 washer BTW, it's perfect for a street car.
