[Biturbos4] Naughty thought...

Get the AWE Twin2 exhaust - much stronger sound than stock - but you won't sound like a honda fart can muffler (from Pep Boyz) either.

That seems like the reaction 99% of the people get after driving one.

My first car was a '86 Honda Prelude with a 1.8L 12v engine making 100 hp. It's not fast at all, but it's sort of quick thanks to its light weight at 2500lb. You sit so close to the ground and with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and some meaty 14" 185 section width tires, it handles great! It had problems, actually many, and I sold it to get my first Audi, a '90 CQ.

I totally agree your assessment on the S4. I've always love the stealth concept, just want to slip by everyone at a fast pace without getting noticed. However lately, I started to think the S4 is too quiet, especially after test driving the M3, and I believe sound is an important part of driving pleasure. So perhaps I should just get an exhaust instead...

The thinking continues...
