I got the Stromung Exhaust on, sounds good although I'm hoping it gets a bit louder once it breaks in a bit. My wife's AWE Twin2 got a bit louder and its pretty much perfect now, so I have hopes for mine as well. Only problem I have with the exhaust is the piping is so bug that it almost rests on a crossmember under the car and thus rattles pretty badly when I get on the pedal. The crossmember doesn't hold anything on and it comes off really easily. I want to just get rid of it, but since I'm not exactly sure what its there for don't want to risk f-ing up the car. I might find some rubber I can lay across the top of the crossmember to muffle the rattles.
I also found the correct grill and a S4 badge for it, installed a brand new set of Audi Rings on the trunk and the correct era S4 badge too. Then for one final bit I tinted the windows to a level slightly darker than legal. Now I'm cruising in what I like to think of as the MobstUr S4.

I did notice when my downpipe was off that my turbo has a fair amount of side play in the shaft. The impeller never hit the side of the housing or anything but with the amount of play and the fact that my wife noticed quite a bit of "turbo smoke" when I get on it I'm thinking my car might be getting an RS2 or better setup sooner than I was expecting. Oh darn. :D
 
Actually the only thing that sucked about them was their location. Getting to the ones on the underside of the pipe was a biatch. Still it went pretty well, especially considering its a 15yr old exhaust system I had to take off.

I'm surprised, as hot as those mofos get I'd figure them to be pretty well fused to the turbo outlet.
