Default exhaust question

I'm doing this blind, but I ordered the Corsa Sport exhaust on my A6 C6...I wanted the B&B Bullets because I've heard on here on how it's an aggresive sounding exhaust (which is what I want)...According to the shop I'm having the work done, the Bullets don't fit clean on a A6 due to the larger size of the tranny on the A6.........So my question is, Do the Corsa's Sports sound aggressive and as far as quality, how do they stack up to the competetors?...

I had the corsa sports on my c5. they sounded awesome! Ill be getting then on my c6 a6 within a couple weeks. when i traded my c5 in at the dealer they loved the sound. just went back there after about 6 months and they still say it was the best sounding exhaust they ever heard.

In my opinion, Bullets are a little loud. I have the MZ6 trans and Corsa Sports. The Sports sound exceptional. There is NO drone (humming) that others have that can make you crazy. With the top down, I really wouldn't want them any louder. The quality of craftsmanship is great and I like the tips (quad) as well as the stainless steel mufflers.
If I wasn't 100% satisfied, I would buy a different exhaust.

Thats great!! Did you have any headers or mid-pipes that emphasized the sound? Or is it just the cat-back system?...I'm just doing the cat-back myself...

Thats cool....Obviously I don't want an exhaust thats going to drone so bad that I can't enjoy my music, but loud enough on the outside so that you hear the V8 muscle rumble....Seems like I've made the best choice...Thanks for the input!!

Corsa Sports here . . . I get a lot of comments (good)

No H or X pipes here, just the Sports. You will not be sorry.

The Bulletts are a little to noisy for me, and they do drone. They drone to the point that you can't hear the radio. Maybe the H or X pipe take out the drone.

Fastphilly,

There should not be any fit issues with the Bullet on a A6 car and if there are I would like to know about it.

did borla stingers on an A6 car this weekend with no fitment problems. They may be something to consider as far as a happy medium. The corsas sound great but I would not even consider them muscle car type sound if that is what you are wanting.

i've got an a6 with the corsa sports and corsa a6 h-pipe. i love the sound. it's loud/aggressive enough for me and the sound is behind the car, not in the cab putting my head in a vise. if you find they're not aggressive enough you can order the extremes. you'll still use the same over-the-axle pipes and h-pipe. you'll have no problem selling the sports to recupe some bucks.

Just the cat back but my new a6 will need the h pipe as well. that comes with the entire sports system.
