Default Flowmasters on A6?.....

Anyone have the Flowmaster American Thunder (Part #17427) on an A6? I'm thinking about the quad tips at Autopartswarehouse.

Any installation issues? How do they sound? Resonance issues? Thanks!!

i havent tried it, but from what i have read they are not worth the time or the money, too much cabin drone, pay a little more and get borlas, bullets, or corsas.

I've had both. Started off with the duel tip and recently switched over to the quad tips a few months ago because I like the look better. Both systems have some drone because of the low RPM range your constantly in with an A6, but I can say the 2 tip system had a little less for some reason.

I can't say it enough, do whatever you can the hear a vette with the system you think you want BEFORE you buy. There just isn't a right answer to this question.
