they sound awesome, but it each person likes something different. They do have some resonance, IMO, but I think they sound the best. I also think the quad oval tips look the best. If you have the chance to hear the different exhausts, both inside & out, i would highly recommend it. My 98 M6 has quite a bit of resonance at 2500 rpm. I stay way below that cruising on the highway. If you have an A4, especially with gears, this may be a problem. If mine was a daily driver, I'd probably go with something middle of the road. God luck & have fun picking one out!

I have the speedway tips :D & will not trade them for anything else!, small amt. of resonance, but after being used to sidepipes on a 67 coupe, everything else is quite! :D :cheers:

I have the PRT quad oval tip version and am very happy with them. I have taken several trips in the C5 and haven't been bothered at all. I do get slight resonance between 1000 and 1500 rpms, but its not bad at all. I don't have the pre-cats and do have long tube headers which may contribute.
