    Question decision time

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    i'm stuck between 2 different exhausts for my 08' b7 s4 avant.

    1- StaSiS cat back (resonated)

    2- MTM cat back (resonated)

    iv'e listened to the youtube vids, but still not sure which i like better. i know its a personally preference, but i was hoping for some advice or suggestions on the matter.

    thanks for any feedback

    You need to find some S4 with those exact exhausts and listen to them in person; YouTube does not convey all the sound and feeling of the exhaust note

    STaSIS! Everyone I know who's dealt with Milltek has had fitment issues. Not to metion it causes a lot of problems when their hot exhaust butts up against the gas evap line because of poor fitment. Dunno about you, but I'm not takin that risk! If your up in Nor-cal anytime soon I'd be happy to let u hear my exhaust too.

    Don't know where in LA you are, but you can come on out to one of our GTGs in Pasadena and hear Audizine member Oatzel's B7 Avant with resonated Statis cat back. It sounds amazing.

    I'm not raggin' on you but unless you have had first hand experience with milltek, you may want to reserve your opinion. I have owned two different sets of Milltek exhaust systems, including their DP's and both have been extremely easy to install, perfect fit and an intoxicating sound.

    Milltek is a great system and don't let anyone tell you differently.

    All 4 Avant, come down to the G2G in Pasadena on Wed and I'll cruise my car over so you can hear what an unresonated milltek sounds like.

    we just installed both a stasis and milltek and both fitment are spot on and as for sound both were excellent but my vote would go to stasis :0)

    I have one on my car - non resonated, plus the DP's. It sounds great, although I do need to fix a leak right now - sounds like a gasket blew out, I have not investigated yet. No fitment issues on my car btw.

    I have no comment on competing solutions because I have not owned any, or even seen other exhausts.

    But the Milltek is a really good sounding system and even with non-res and DP's is not annoying one bit - the perfect exhaust note for a sofisticated ride like the S4.

    Yup, probably one of the most refined sounding exhausts for the Audi.

    The G2G is in the 3800 block of Foothill at the corner of Michillinda, just north of the 210 freeway in Pasadena. The zip is 91107. There is a corner bakerk there so google Corner Bakery and 91107. Gonna need a heads up as I don't make it every other week.

    Look in the regional section, so cal for more info and dates. I think that there is a meet day after tomorrow.

    i'm gonna chime in...milltek fitment sucks...why else do they give a tube of exhaust paste? the hardware is also sub-par.

    Haha, ya my bad, read that wrong...MTM is great too, but I'd stil go with STaSIS. And as far as the Milltek, I don't have any personal experience no, but everyone I've talked to has. Obviously there will be people with good experiences, but I've heard from some of the best engineers in the business that Milltek tends to have a bad fit. Just what I've heard, he asked for feedback, that's what I'm givin.
