Got the track exhaust installed today and all I can say is this is how the s4 should sound like. It is definitely well worth the money.
Exhaust overall is very LOUD and there are some drones with Highway driving.
Included some short clips

I don't think you can really hear the drone from the video. I will say if you are driving in the city, this exhaust is LOUD but like exotic loud. It will definitely put some smile on your face whenever you start engine/downshift/or throttle.
With Highway driving there's definitely some drone that you will have to get used to. I will find out more tomorrow on the way to work.

Highway drones are terrible. I hate those things spying on me.

I'm sure that's a 'DSG Only' issue with this exhaust (and most others). I look forward to getting one for my 6-MT. Sounds amazinnng! [drool]

It will still drone at the right RPM in a 6 speed.
The reason DSG is brought up so often is because of where the 7th gear has the RPMs at typical highway speed 60-80 mph. It is generally right in the target RPM range for drone.

Absolutely the best sounding exhaust for the S4, I've been too timid to get it for daily driving!!

I love this exhaust! I have one on my car with stock downpipes and the sound is intoxicating! [drive] expecially driving in the city, the building reflect the sounds and it growls/echo. I get compliment that it sounds like a ferarri

That's why I drive in manual and never use seventh. Gas mileage can suck it. Even the touring exhaust with awe resonated downpipes has drone. Hell, even the stock exhaust had drone

Sounds awesome! I like loud, and can handle/avoid a little drone. My mk7 e888 track pipes should arrive this week. Cannot wait!

These are with stock downpipes. And I think the exhaust quieted down a bit and drone is less now.

+1 I had mine for a few months now,it does quiet down after some time of breaking in. Stock downpipes is all you need IMO, no need for resonated as you got an aftermarket exhaust for a reason :) . I heard one with resonated before and it was obnoxiously loud. Race car loud. [headbang]

this is SICK! I almost want to swap out my non-res AWE for this setup. I'd be curious to hear this with DP's
