Here's a "sound" investment that will give your Audi RS4 a voice worth listening to. ECS Tuning has developed an H-Pipe that replaces the OE resonator, producing a great outside exhaust note that won't drone you out of the interior.

Installation is a cut and clamp affair. Cut out the old resonator; clamp in the H-pipe.
