BOb:

FYI on my TQC set-up.  The rear two mufflers were removed and the Dynomax
unit was put where the rear muffler was originally...no center unit.  The
Ansa piece is just the tip set, which we did have to cut a little short to
make it fit.  It has worked extremely well from performance (no flat spot)
and sound quality (very assertive, but not loud) points of view.  The only
draw back is the close fit once we got it all together..tended to trash the
earlier, non-reinforced Audi exhaust hangers.
