Which exhaust should I get?
I just bought a 2005 C6 with stock pipes but, I want a low pitch rumble of some sort at idle. I don't want anything that is going to drive me crazy or I can't hear my wife while cruising down the road. Please give me any suggestions you may have on which exhaust to buy. (cat back, headers, ...)

I bought a used set of Corsa sports, from a forum member, and couldn't be happier. Louder than stock, but not too loud...and no drone. Just a nice, low rumble at idle with a subdued growl as you work through the gears. Almost dead quiet at cruise. And a nice, low roar at WOT. I later added a AIRAID air filter system and it sounds even better as you work the gearbox! No "high school" stuff...no "look at me" sounds...just a discreet, but noticeable exhaust note. Just watch the forum classifieds closely and don't hesitate when one shows up. Figure about $700.00/$800.00 for a used exhaust (Wait for a Corsa Sport) and about $250.00 for the AIRAID, new. You'll have a hard time trying to wipe the grin off your face!

I put the Borla ATAK system on my '05 A4. It's loud, but in a good way, and no drone at any rpm. No wife to listen to but I do like the radio at normal volume. Good luck finding what's right for you.
