Default Muffler Delete Exhaust Tip Recommendations

Team,
I’m on the fence about trying a muffler delete on my 2017 GS A8. I read the many post about the slight drone in the cab and refuse to pay $1K for a kit I may have to reverse. Which is also the reason I refuse to chop the tips off my stock mufflers. The goal are to purchase tips which have the same inlet dimensions as my stock mufflers; to maximize the tips output dimensions within the rear bumper opening; to have the lip on the tips for external appearances; and to be reasonably priced. Just wondering if there are any recommendations before receiving the muffler shop options. I am aware of Corsa tips which are a bit pricey…Being a cheap bastard.

Reminds me of the three legged stool….impossible to have all three ‘quality, performance (or speed) and price.’ One of the three legs will be shorter than the others. Lol

Reads to me like you already know where (and how ) you stand.

Enjoying paddle shift (A8 transmission) more than usual. Did notice the slight drone around 60mph which some mentioned…Plan to install sound proof in trunk bottom before next road trip. Did not purchase new..found used tips someone sold me.
