    Anker Automotive exhaust

    Has anyone tried either one of these exhausts from Anker automotive? This is a complete steal but I just don’t know how it sounds as there are no YouTube videos or reviews anywhere.

    I’ve been trying to get someone to buy a set. I’ve offered rebates and satisfaction guarantee buy backs and nobody pulled the trigger as of yet. But if nobody ends up buying one by the time I start to carry miltek and akrapovic, I won’t offer them anymore.

    If the exhaust is loud, I would consider buying it! Either the titanium or stainless steel.

    Depends on what exhaust you’re getting and your location. Knocking off at least 150 if you install and more rebates if you make exhaust clips

    They look quite similar to the Cende systems. There are not many videos of those out there, but there are a few that could give you an idea what they would sound like.

    They are the cende units. Seems like everything I've seen are on the 3.0L. Can vouch for Anker tho, stand up guy.

    Agreed. Seems like I remember that same channel having an outside video too. Not a driving or drive by, but outside revving.

    That’s also a 3.0T. Upbadging in China is crazy because all the rs grills and come with free badging to fool your friends and family into thinking you get bad gas mileage

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how does the full Cat-Back Stainless Steel version differ or compare to Milltek or APR? With an X-pipe and Rear Mufflers w/ valve it should be similar in sound?

    I’m not too sure honestly. I would assume it would sound similar to borla

    The guy that runs anker is a good dude. His exhausts are indeed Cende exhausts.

    Also, melen exhausts are Cende units too and there are a few s/RS cars running them.

    A few things about cende: the price can't be beat, but out of the 20+ people I know with their exhausts there have been 2 with issues, both 3.0t.

    1) first car was testing an experimental x-pipe setup and it was just awful. Cende sent him replacement parts, but he still had to have an exhaust shop so some magic to get it to fit right.

    2) the other car fit spot on, but the mid muffler blew a weld after 500 miles. Cende is sending a replacement unit.

    I've had my car with my Cende exhaust for about 5k miles. I love the ability to go from quiet to loud, and my car is fucking loud with the valves open on my 3.0t. But the quiet mode is neighborhood friendly.

    The number 1 complaint about their systems are the exhaust clamps. They are garbage. So either plan on getting the exhaust welded, or do what I did and get the Amazon special lap joint clamps for your exhaust connections.

    But overall the exhaust is killer for the money. Just don't expect awe quality. You can also get it in stainless or titanium.

    They also come with 1 year warranties.

    Here is a better sound clip video on my 3.0t.

    This thing would be insane with a catless 4.0tt.

    Really would love to hear a 4.0 clip. AA is a great dude, got some parts from him and he is helping me with my ds1 stage 3 flash in a few days.

    Thank you for the kind words! Yeah they are definitely cende but with a slightly different configuration than Melen I would assume so they’re definitely going to be pretty dang loud with the 3” back and no mufflers

    I’ve been debating on getting either this exhaust or dumps but if I get any returns I’ll be the first to make those sound clips!

    Any updates on 4.0tt owners? Either the stainless steel or Titanium. The only option is no valves or valves between the two or can you play around with muffler options?

    Probably would lean towards Titanium with valves but have no idea how the sound or fitment would be?

    Seriously considering the AWE track exhaust.

    Still waiting. There is either valved mufflers or none at all. If you wanted mufflers without valves something could probably be arranged.

    Have there been any more takers on your offer for posting clips? Might be interested in a Ti set.

    Sounds great, if the owner of car is near Philly/DE would love to hear in person. Want to pull trigger on a set for S8 resonated with valves to keep the cold start as quiet as possible. But slightly louder than stock sports exhaust when ripping on it.

    Just stumbled across this exhaust. Any idea on the weight of the titanium exhaust compared to stock?

    I'm interested in getting the exhaust with the mufflers but I'd love to know if the tips are adjustable in how far they stick out past the bumper. Anyone got pics of the tips from the side?

    Anywhere from 15-20 lbs is my guess since it has no resonators

    If I select YES to the muffler option, does it also come with the center resonator? I want the center resonator and the rear valved mufflers.

    Looks like site is down. Any one know what’s up?

    Was eyeballing the titanium RS7 model. Was wondering if anyone has a vid or weight on it.

    Also, looks fairly similar to some models on Alibaba, but obviously that’s risky on knowing what you’re getting. Plus, I think I recall it saying it has an x-pipe.
