Can't be serious...use the search function bruh!

Been covered many times. Sounds good in S mode but somewhat quiet depending on your tolerance. It was def a cheap solution years back but most nowadays go with catback or full system...

Can't see it taking much more than an hour with a lift..

**skhan91** · 12-14-2015 03:28 PM

tried using the search button, couldnt find any direct info :S maybe im just a noob at searching lol

Thank you! I am personally okay with the stock exhaust i just wish it was just a tiny bit louder, this seems like a good soluion!

h pipe + piggies is a very popular choice--best bang for buck as some would say...for sound that is

i feel like a full exhaust would just be a better option if i go for piggies and H pipe combined with some gutting

Welcome to Audizine!

I love the sound with the h-pipe & magnaflow DPs. With the exhaust flaps closed the car can still fly under the radar, open them up and it sounds great.

Search google next time and just add audizine. Search on this site is nearly useless.

To add to this, Supersprint also has a mid-pipe available for the RS4, it utilizes a X pipe instead of an H pipe.

**ECS Tuning-Audi** · 12-15-2015 08:46 AM

H-pipe adds just the right amount of tone from the factory exhaust.

Especially for someone who doesn't want to go all out on a full system.

Nice! I am in a similar boat where just a bit more noise would be awesome. Would it be possible for you to do a before/after dyno once you have it?

The performance gain is negligible. It does sound much better. Love mine. If you can afford it a full system is the way to go but for the money this is a great way to get a bit more growl and still doesn't attract too much attention.

**skhan91** · 12-15-2015 12:57 PM

yea i don't think I'll be putting it on the dyno, not worth it unless i go at least full exhaust.

just sucks how bad the canadian dollar is. this $250 mod is coming out to be over $500 CAD after shipping and handling to canada

i took a look at their site, seems to be considerably more $ for their x pipe. is that worth it?

You could just buy an "x" section, take it to a exhaust shop and have them cut out your center portion, and straight pipe, with the X welded in.... Would prob be better bang for your Canadian dollar and yield slightly better gains

Now you did it! Hehe!!!
Ok question...
Is there a significant power gains from an X pipe to an H pipe to justify choosing one over the other?

Also, I went to the Supersprint website and it looks like you have to buy some sort of supporting parts for the center X pipe section to work, and it ain't cheap.
Thoughts?

In this application no.

Someone had one in the classifieds for 300 iirc

This the website?

There's a thread on here somewhere that explains Hpipe vs Xpipe in regards to power gains, and sound difference.
