Welcome Nelson!

Congrats on the car. Hang around here a little and you may decide to change your entire exhaust rather than just the tips!

Hello Nelson and welcome. If you stick around here very long, the exhaust tips may be the only thing you DON"T change. Just kidding.

Welcome aboard. If you are in Kissimmee, you should have come out to Old Town this past weekend for Vette Fest. Had a lot of good examples of lots of different exhaust systems. Had a lot of fun too.

If you can wait until January, there will be a large NCRS show at Old Town with lots of vendors and others selling everything you might need for your Vette.

Enjoy it while you can!

Welcome Nelson, I too have a white, 98 - A4 and changed the stock exhaust with the Z06 titanium exhaust. A little deeper sound but not overpowering.

Welcome Nelson and conrats on a great choice in cars.. You may THINK your hot rod days are over (so did I at 40 and my husband at 53) until he got his vette 3 years ago and I got mine 11 days ago. The guys in here will get ya goin good and then the mod bug bites and your hooked---just like us..

You will have a great time in here but be safe out there.
