Decided to finally get around to installing my AWE touring exhaust and resonated downpipes (A6 C7.5).
Did anyone else have the following issues:
The weld quality on the mufflers is terrible. Pretty much me from high school welding class. The resonators are much better, though.
The instructions note that a new slip joint and exhaust paste is included. I did not receive any of this. This was a weekend project, and I had to get the car together so I used the OEM slip joint, which seems too short.
The muffler inlet connections were both bent already making it impossible to connect to the pipes. After much effort, I eventually bent them back enough to go on.
I got it done, and am waiting to hear back about the slip joint. But overall I'm pretty disappointed in the quality and apparently missing parts from a $3k+ exhaust system.
