Looks good ! I did the same mod and love it. It has gotten louder with miles as well. Still have my full awe exhaust in my garage and don’t think I need it with this mod.

I’ve found over the years that with a muffler delete and resonator delete that is the best bang for the buck. And if need be a HFC or downpipes. The full exhausts are never loud enough for my liking and certainly not worth the $$$$

I wanted a happy medium and I believe removing any more resonators or mufflers would cause raspy drone in my opinion but this is perfect for my function and sounds GREAT!

Was there a benefit with going with an X pipe vs just two straight pipes in place of the res?

I have a A6. But every car I’ve owned in the past 4 years has had the mufflers chopped off lol. I think the S7 with the mufflers chopped off would be obnoxiously loud. Probably like that S7’s that pops up on YouTube from I think Effspot. I’d personally do it. Remember you only live once and Loud pipes save lives

You must go with a Xpipe or Hpipe because of the valves opening and closing, Walter at simple performance explained it to me that straight pipe isn't good for these cars

After following this thread, I decided to keep the suitcase and delete the mufflers on mine. Partially for the sound, but mainly so I can have some decent looking tips. I plan to get it done Saturday to my pre-FL S7. They respond differently than the FL ones though.

I’d be interested in hearing before and after Sir.

Did you also delete the front (small) resonators? or just the middle suitcase?

I believe his current setup is front resonators, middle suitcase and no rear mufflers.

Are you referring to the OP? b/c I think from the pics it looks like he only deleted the middle suitcase and replaced it with an X-pipe and kept the front resonators and the rear mufflers since he'd concerned about drone. I am also considering this for my S7 with the sport exhaust but am concerned about drone.

Sorry about that, you're right. I replied back to the wrong thread, please ignore

Sent from my iPhone using Audizine (http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=87676)Me too, 2017 s7 with sport exhaust. Want more sound, but no drone and want to be able to be quiet for the neighbors with comfort mode if needed.
Let us know what you think, or better yet some sound clips [emoji106][emoji120]
