... last time I checked the replacement mufflers from Audi DO carry a
lifetime warranty.  I wonder why the originals aren't ... assuming they're
made from the same stuff ...

If they're that expensive you can probably save a good bit by ordering them
from Linda@Carlsen or one of the other dealer sources that offer a discount
