Anyone have this issue? I can really hear it when i'm in a hard over turn (Wheel all the way over one way or the other). I can't really hear it day to day, but as soon as I'm somewhere like a parkin garage it really stands out.

My friend that is an Audi Tech said the flex pipes are "rattling". Is this something that can be fixed by adjusting something? Or do I have to replace the flex pipes? If i have to replace them, what is the best route to go?

Had the same issue, I got this fixed by replacing one of the flex pipes. It was torn hence lost its firmness and started vibrating. Apparently the only way I saw the tear was after they hoisted the car up on those service jack or whatever they call them... goodluck troubleshooting

Do you recall how much it was to replace the Flex Pipe?
