Aaahh, the Audi TQC! Unfortunately, I can't own one of those, I've only got a 5-digit income ;^) I know, I used to fix them for a living. Even on my 4000 Quattro, a factory exhaust is $850 at *cost*! I had an outfit in Canada make me a semi-custom 2-1/2" 100% stainless system for "only" $650 - still twice what a Saab exhaust costs. Audi's a great car (electrical systems excluded), but I don't like having to choose between "junk" aftermarket parts, or getting taken for a ride at the dealer.
