Soon after I got my B8 a few years ago I purchased a used APR RSC full exhaust (Corsa). It was in good shape except for the fact that the passenger side rear muffler had to be repaired by an exhaust shop because something inside of it had become loose and was rattling. Fast forward 30,000 miles and the problem with the passenger side rear muffler has returned and it rattling like crazy. When we put it up on the lift I also noticed an exhaust leak in the middle muffler – seems like a bad weld. The exhaust shop doesn’t want to repair the muffler and neither do I – the previous fix only lasted 30,000 miles. I’d rather just replace it and not worry about it.
I spoke to APR who told me to go through Corsa for possibly warranty/replacement parts. Corsa denied the warranty because the warranty is non-transferable and I am not the original purchaser. Corsa did say they’d be willing to help with the cost of replacement parts but a new mid section and passenger side rear muffler is at minimum $600 + shipping. List price is ~$1,000 total for both parts.
I’m trying to figure out some alternatives to using Corsa parts. I’d like to get something a little louder. Has anyone else used magnaflow mufflers in conjunction with a magnaflow x-pipe or middle muffler? I’m thinking of continuing to use the Corsa piping and just replace the rear mufflers and center mufflers with magnaflow components. I’ve seen plenty of videos of the magnaflow x-pipe with the stock section and it sounds good. Let me know if you guys have any low cost fixes or ideas for this.
