    Anyone have experience with this setup? Im looking for a catback that has a very full refined sound to it. JHM seems to be the one but there is very limited youtube videos with it.

    I bought this exhaust and it was an extremely bad decision. It comes with only small 12" glass resonators and the rear mufflers aren't effective. I have the same car and it droned extremely badly, such that the whole cabin would shake at low rpm (which isn't helped because it's a coupe). I switched the resonators for an oval Magnaflow dual muffler and bought Flowmaster Hugh Puppies for the front. It looks good from behind as I ceramic coated the tips but I took it off and bought the Corsa exhaust which I love. No drone and very loud at high RPM. The adjusted JHM exhaust definitely had some butt dyno gains and in the end had quite a refined sound but a slight drone at highway speeds in 7th gear and not as loud under WOT as the Corsa... I live in Australia which made this whole task extremely expensive but if you want the exhaust let me know ill pretty much give it to you except for the hush puppies. Send me a message

    There are many videos of the S5 with JHM exhaust. i bought the FI resonated full exhaust. It hasn't arrived yet but I will definitely post video of sound when it comes. I have heard nothing but good sounds of the JHM and FI exhausts. I read the write ups of the sounds and so far no drone with them. But if abamfo says it is and he had it then I can't dispute it YET.

    Looking forward to receiving your feedback on it... I do appreciate that their system made some great noise for the V8 but the 3.0 TFSI is a noisy beast...
