Is there anyone out there making a quality exhaust system for the Audi A6 (MY 2014 specifically)? Rawtek had one that fit the Q’s and the A6 however it wouldn’t really fit the A6 without some modification so they pulled it. I was having conversations with Buzzken, but I’ve sent him three emails since October 10th and haven’t received a response. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Looking for off-road upgrades.

Thanks!

I purchased a tune from Ken and JR Auto Tuning. They’re horrible about responding to emails. Contact Malone Tuning and AARodriguez.

Thanks Barry. I will reach out to both and see if they have a recommendation.
If there are no confirmed catback aftermarket options I would have a muffler shop do a simple replacement of the OEM mufflers with straight through performance mufflers or resonators, my personal favorites are Magnaflow and Vibrant Performance. I have the full Magnaflow catback for my Q5 but have gone the route described above on other vehicles and got nearly the same results, it's also much cheaper than a full catback.

It’s been a great rig. But with 110k miles on the odometer, I’ve been throwing some DPF codes. I think the DPF is about done. With the Prestige package, the only thing it is missing is apple car play. I was able to find this vehicle used and it had all of the features I would have ordered from the factory if I purchased it new. I got lucky. If I can just figure out this post-fix garbage and get it running like it used to, then I’ll be smiling ear to ear again.

I don't think we got them up here...just the A8. Sounds like it would be a great car...if it was an Avant!
Yes they were sold in Canada too as 2014, 2015 and 2016 models. Both A6 and A7, alongside the A8. No avants, however. I owned 2016 A6 TDI before selling it and getting the A8L TDI.

Anyone have a update on a replacement exhaust, cat back or total, for 2015 A6 3.0 TDI
Not cat back... the magnaflow fits perfectly but they don't seem to be making it. They state it's for 2016s but in fact it only fits 14 and 15s. Keep searching and you may find one. I got a new in box kit on ebay. The only other one I could find was supersprint I believe? Somewhere around $3k though!!!!

The downpipe from natperformance is absolutely beautiful though!!!
