I had Stainless Works LTs installed on my 95A4 along with RT hi flow cats and kept my stock cat back exhaust as it's non restrictive up to about 400HP. Just love the sound very low & throaty sorta like a big block. Did not do a before & after dyno so could not tell you exactly what impact it had except for the sotp kick it seems to give at the low end.

To anyone,
I happened upon a resonator cut-away view that had an x-pipe inside, but lost it when I had to re-boot my stupid computer. Anyone seen this also? I have done numerous searches, all to no avail. All help appreciated.

Dynomax makes the "Ultra-flo X". I heard WRO87's vette at Ted's garage sounds great standing still and on the highway.
