Axle back worth it?
2012 SS - A6
Long tube headers No cats Mid muffler delete Tune Cold air I love the sound - loud under throttle and quiet at cruise speed. I'm looking for my next mod (possibly trailing arms and sway bars)....but I keep on going back to should I just finish the exhaust off with an axle back? I don't expect any power gains.....just sound. I'm not interested in ditching the rear mufflers - I would replace them with another muffler. Would you do it or not? Thanks! |

Not even worth the thought. Nope.
When buying exhaust your buying sound more than anything.

Maybe eventually I would, but the stock mufflers sound good. They're heavy though. You can get a set of dumps/diverters and get both sounds and gainz.

I run axle backs with the stock exhaust on both of mine and like them. i was getting a lot of drone with headers and put an SLP axle back in. Worked pretty good. Daughter wanted to make vert fast and loud so it got a Borla axle back. I bought both of them used though.

Exhaust mostly for sound not for actual hp gains. If you want it to be louder, go for it.

I think I'll leave it stock - the long tubes, no cats and mid muffler delete make it sounds nice.
I can use that $$$ on suspension mods - thanks everyone!! |

Instead of deleting the rear mufflers, why not add some cutouts/diverters? Mild when you need it, wild when you want it.

When I had a V6, I ran the Mrt V2 Axle back on a cat delete setup. Mrt mufflers sounded good
