Default Exhaust for automatics

What exhaust system are you automatic owners sporting on your cars? How well does it sound compared to the manual? Any differences?

I have a Corsa Pace Car system with a X-Pipe. It sounds great and I think it sounds the same whether it's on an A4 or a MN6.

B&B PRT on a '98 auto with 3.15 gears. I love the sound, it does have a little drone about 1700 RPM but it is not bad and it goes away quickly.

If you are on a budget and want a lot of bang for your buck you may want to try the muffler bypass. I am very pleased with the result and haved postphoned a more expensive set up because of it. Check the search for more.

Corsa's on mine. The sound really perked up with the installation of the headers.

I had B&B PRT on my 98 A4 the drone is loud. I had the car 2 months sold the PRT with less than 2k miles on them. I replaced them with B&B Route 66 more to my liking. I got a great deal on the Route 66. I couldn't pass up. I will say that they are quiter than the 97 I had with Corsa Pace Car and X-pipe. I thought that they had the right sound for an A4.

BUMP
Good thread, I'd like to hear what more people have to say on the issue. I think what he was wondering about the difference in how the A4 shifts at such a low RPM and does it so swift-fully unless using excessive throttle, whereas the M6 you can slowly wind it out to 3-4K and shift with the RPMs dropping some and then going into the next gear... Nonetheless lets keep this thread alive!

I picked up a set of used ti's for my A4. I like to cruise and listen to a CD or be able to talk on phone or to my wife, not listen to the drone of loud pipes. They add just a touch of muscle to the tone (great when auto-xing). All depends on what you want in the way of sound.
