Default B&B Rt 66 on an A6??

I was wondering if anyone has installed B&B Rt 66 exhaust on an A6 and if so, what kind of drone or whatever are you having? I had them on my C5 for 5 years and loved them. Need your input.

I had them, the drone was intolerable. The A6 is a different animal. I would go for the new GHL's designed for the A6.

If they ever start making them, that is!

Best current bet for the A6 - stock exhaust. IMHO.

I installed them with the PRT center section, and there is noticeable drone in the low RPM ranges on the highways, but sometimes it seems as if the tire noise is just as bad as the drone. They do sound good on the outside.

So far I think that I will keep them on, but am waiting to see what transpires with the GHL system.

I have the original corsa sports on with LG's xpipe with cats on my A6. There is some drone 1500-1600 rpm's but it is not bad. The exhaust note is a little louder at idle but very loud at WOT.

With stock exhaust manifold and cats I don't think the drone would be bad at all, there would be a little though. Corsa also has the A6 designed cat back, but it is similar to a touring design and I don't think it would be very aggressive or loud if you will.
