Default How the RS4 should sound

Brother had Meercat Custom Exhausts build him a new exhaust for his RS4, I recon it is a bit of an improvement over the standard noise!!

At 4000 rpm it was 98db at half a meter from the exhaust

Have to say I prefer the std exhaust on a RS4, doesnt need one that loud and spoils the car.

Either way, they sound bloody beautiful! Definitely one for the 'must own at some point' list.

Still prefer the sound of the Milltek on my RS4 Avant.

Being Valved and Resonated, it can be quiet when it needs to be and LOUD when the fun factor wants to be issued.

That MeerKat still sounds nice though ;D

Chap I bought my Focus RS off earlier this year had already got his new car - RS4 Avant with Milltek. He had to move it to get the RS out and "said let me move the noisy one". I thought yeah wont be that loud - omg when he started it up it was awesome.
