a bit loud....car looks good though

[simplesedan99]

yeah either the car is super loud....or the sound is just bouncing off all those walls...making it sound louder.....

+1 on the car looking good though

[Zac]

I hope that thing is really loud as it sounds

[Merlin00069]

I think it sounds 2x as loud because of location and like above stated..it bouncing off the walls there. Im bias on that setup looking awesome too....since i too have a DG B7 S4 with Rs4 Reps. =) Car looks great!

[Wusty]

Great sound!

Thanks! No, It's definitely very loud, I'll be getting some better footage to today to post up.. The PnS camera used does not have good vid capabilities..

I hope that thing is really loud as it sounds

Thanks! It is, I'll post up a better quality vid shortly..

I don't have a problem with how loud it is. The tone is off, though. It doesn't sound rich, or clean. Kind of has a hollow sound to it, like a Mustang exhaust, and too much rasp. Is it just a catback or do you have aftermarket downpipes, too?

[RAudi Driver]

^^ exactly. Sounds unrefined and like it doesn't belong on a 50k German car.

[Zac]

^really guys? The start up is amazing imo

Too bad your so for from me op, I want to hear it in real life

[dvsone]

i think the car sounds great lets people know that you are driving a 50k german sports car, its not a a8l. to some it might be loud but sounds awesome to me

[OB1]

Details on exhaust?

Sounds mean!

Again, it's not for everyone.. It's a catback + custom..

lol, what, doesnt belong on a german car?? please elaborate.. A LOT of high performance exhaust mfg's would disagree..

Stratmosphere catback + custom

Thanks!

It kinda sounds like you cut off the mufflers and just put straight pipes. But isn't that what the strat. catback is anyways, just a mid res and the rest straight pipes.
It kinda sounds like cutouts and not a catback system. My car is loud as well, but that sound/tone just doesn't sound right for the car

[tadhgbrosnan]

I'd say the problem is in the "custom" part of the exhaust, not the Strat catback. Honestly, I've yet to hear a "custom" made exhaust on a 4.2 S4 that has a quality sound. Invariably, the problem is too much rasp.

Again, the volume is not the problem. The FI/LaBree exhaust, especially with aftermarket DPs, are very loud. It is a deep, rich, and clean tone, however. It's aggressive but refined. The sound of the exhaust in this thread is very unrefined.

You wanted feedback, so there you go. Negative feedback, yes, but constructive, nonetheless.

Yes, the strat catback is straight pipes in this case..

No doubt.. Constructive criticism is always welcome..

Your S4 now sounds like the other two cars in your garage. I don't know, I like loud exhausts, but the tone is just wrong.

More footage added.

[ADV.1 Matt]

Sounds great! Very aggressive!

[OB1]

Stratmosphere catback + custom

That doesn't help! lol

[sakimano]

i think he means custom downpipes

I agree that it sounds like my other 2 rides, like a performance v8 should.. :)

That doesn't help! lol

Sorry, Strat catback + custom hi-flow dp's

Sounds great! Very aggressive!

Thanks!

i think he means custom downpipes

Correct!

[Wusty]

I might be partial because I have a Strat Catback but that thing just sounds mean! Mines definitely not that loud, downpipes obviously make a huge difference. I seriously think it sounds awesome though!

Thanks! Buy some dp's or modify yours, you wont regret it..

[ChrisFarleyGuy]

Definitely a different sounding exhaust than a stereotypical APR setup. Props for trying something new : )

[Zac]

So it has cats?

Thanks! That was one of the goals..

Yes

[BUD-S4]

I can't believe it has cats! sounds awesome!!!!

[Zac]

I can't believe it has cats! sounds awesome!!!!

And your catless!! You should look into this system, I cant even imagine how that would sound

[jpo]

Dig it. The rasp is good IMO. I like a V8 to sound a bit unhinged.

2.5 > 2.25 in volume as well as performance

I was in a Milltek 2.25" catback car a week or two ago, and it seemed like stock after my 2.5 + 2.5 car.

[Hyde]

I like how it sounds under load, but I'm having a hard time with the idle and take off. I thought the first video was dubbed at first, haha!
