What's your favorite lesser known exhaust for the RS4?

[Stormtrooper_]

In the market for an exhaust, but also just curious what other people are running/ admire besides the more mainstrem exhaust brands.

Im running Magnaflow Exhaust and I just installed Magnaflow downpipes last week. Overall im happy with it, the car seemed quiet to me before.. this gives is a deeper tone. No drone in the cabin and not too crazy loud.

I installed Capristo valved exhaust recently, along with piggies. Can only say WOW now. Still calm in a menacing way with valves closed, but it's Satan's own trumpet chorus with valves open under load, without ever falling into that brittle "wrraaappp" at high revs like some exhausts do. No drone, just Jekyll or Hyde at the push of a button.
Just installed the Forza Componenti exhaust valve bypass controller a few minutes ago and went for a test run, and it's now the perfect setup (for me); wake the dead or let the baby sleep, any rpm, any gear.
It really sounds like a DTM monster screaming around city streets now. Without restraint, the neighbours might not appreciate the daily chorus...

HMS: From the clips i've heard, sounds brutal! Almost pulled the trigger before the Capristo
JC Weldfab: Lots of people in the UK run this and also sound quite aggressive. 2.75" cat-back a plus
Scorpion: Sounds pretty killer and has some nice oval tips.

Just a few of the 'rarer' exhausts to look into.

Really appreciate the info guys'! So fancinating how they all create a different note..

I'm running a bit of an improvised solution. I have piggie downpipes but with the pre-cats completely cut out. For the cat-back I have a Milltek which came resonated with valves and I removed the middle resonators.

As you have already figured out, a lot of exhaust make different notes. This also depends on the driver, engine load and exhaust temp. I can show you 3 videos of the same exhaust under different circumstances and it always sounds different.

Im running a AWE touring catback system with Downpipes. Its perfect for me as I take a lot of long road trips and it sounds settle but has a nice rumble at WOT..

[MugelloB7RS4]

I run Tubi with a custom mid pipe without resonator which I love

I also know of a car that ran GMG exhaust with the same custom mid pipe and it sounded great too.

I'm running JHM downpipes, catless, into Magnaflow cat back system. I've been very pleased with their products. The sound is intoxicating!

ALL THESE! I second the Scorpion from what I've heard on youtube its so angry!

Apparently Borla made one long ago and no longer produces it, found an install guide for it.

I like my gmg on the rs4…also really liked my magna flow on s4 avant..It had the perfect growl and sound with no drone.. FWIW my almost 70 year old mom has had to borrow the s4 and rs4 and never complained about the sound being obnoxious. In fact she really liked both… i always get a kick how she get's excited when her subaru's in shop and drives a third pedal again

[your daddy]

I have a GMG fitted to JHM 2.75 downpipes with cats. ceramic coated pipes. love it.

[simple_king]

I have 2.75 down pipes with high flow cats to a custom x mid pipe bottled down to scorpion mufflers. Loud when valves are opened up and quiet when closed.

Not exactly "lesser known" But I LOVE my Tubi Rumore. recordings do not do it justice. No valves, but weirdly they arent really needed, quiet when loafing around but when you bury the gas pedal it sound like the earth is ripping apart. Oh, and the off throttle pops and crackles are hilarious.

[dualquad]

Do you guys know the decibel levels that come out of these? Take care of your ears :)

Anything over 85 can be bad for your ears...

[pule333]

Mine is 89db at 5000rpm with valves closed :)

I have the same exhaust and love it as well! Here is my recording right after install.

[ven0m]

Mine is 89db at 5000rpm with valves closed :)

A friend once measured 119,8 db directly behind my tail-pipe at rev-limit. Valves open. It's good that our cars have great sound insulation in the cabin.

[mr_dennis_s]

MTM... Not the loudest exhaust but the noises it makes is just EXOTIC!

[denis silva]

I run EBWERKS Full 2.75" down pipe n cat back

JC Weldfab FTW!

Even better now I have full control over the exhaust valves, via a remote control switch

Really great input. Hope it helps people when coming to the same situation as myself, as an exhaust kinda seems like a one time buy for the commoners... think im gonna go for an AWE. Sounds nice and deep; throaty...

@faisal J - does that remote work on all exhausts?

anyone know what the tube sizing is on the Tubi?

Same as OEM

Yep it works with any aftermarket valved system. The box just plugs into the vacuum solenoid, and you're all set.

I've been thinking about getting the Magnaflow catcack, just curious how much a difference in sound/volume you get from running the down pipes as well?

First choice for me would be the Capristo but the price especially being in Canada seems crazy to me.

It definitely made it alot throatier and a deeper sound. Surprisingly quiet in the cabin but outside I hear the xtra pops and crackles it makes. The downpipes came uninstalled when i bought the car I just wasnt sure whether to go with a 2.75 instead but Im happy with it. I just couldnt find any sound clips of anyone running the full magnaflow setup. I will have to get someone to drive while Im filming outside I havnt heard yet but Ive been told it screams.

[Striddy]

When I get mine back together, I'll post some clips.

I just had the Capristo installed on my RS4, and I now take the long way to get anywhere if it involves driving under a bridge or through a tunnel. If you are ever in the Kitchener area you're more than welcome to stop by for a listen.

I just put these on my RS5 because I missed the sound of my RS4. Stunning sound and I like having the valve control as OEM
