Ok so i just found out about a local muffler shop that bent exhaust piping for my friends audi a6 for something like $160. Im thinking im gonna buy a muffler and have them make me the piping from the cat back. What muffler do I get and what size piping do I ask for?

Muffler is completely up to your opinion and budget.
I'd get a WS2 muffler, and have them make a 2.25" pipe from the cat to the muffler with a resonator in between.

hes right anything bigger then 2.25 and your car will bog...not enough back pressure to make your car go.and as for the muffler its all what you would like to put on it...<a href="http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=69766163&a lbumID=2514992&imageID=53057155"><img src="http://hotlink.myspacecdn.com/images02/64/857639fdf04f4f459e4573e823180161/m.jpg" alt="" /></a>Comment

wow. you really dont know what your talking about do you?Originally posted by garreth8tsu View Post
back pressure is bad. you dont want that. you want exhaust velocity. you want it to be able to flow out as quickly as possible. too big will make this difficult at low rpm which will create turbulence and actually increase back pressure.
2.25 is good for a stock or near stock f22a. the flow level is good. 2.5" works too but you lose some low end.Comment

That's a pretty good looking muffler.
I like the dual tips, I'd prefer dual round tips though.

crush bent is relatively easier to make and thus it's cheaper..
read up in the exhaust set ups and you'd learn from members who took it to themselves and bought just the muffler and had the exhaust shop custom made the pipes.. the results were inferior to the ready made catback exhausts and not worth the few bucks saved..Comment

I highly doubt they have a mandrel bender in the shop. Crush bent will be just fineComment
