Loud? The sound will get muffled by the air density since it's only coming out the header. Please, I am waiting for the OP to post videos of this beast, everyone quit saying it will be loud, haters....

It's the Racing Beat presilencer for S4s that has the back pressure sensing tube that opens the auxiliary ports.

Yes, the presilencer would go between the header and the stock Y pipe. If you took the header off of his car, you may as well take the presilencer, too. It should look like the pipe here:

Correct. Your "5th and 6th" ports are the auxiliary ports. With that pipe, you will have no catalytic converters and the auxiliary ports will still function as intended.

Once again its only gonna be a few days not even a week. I just want to do it before I finish up the rest of the exhaust. I did it after the break in period in my 72 GTO with a 455HO. jus becuase I could. So i thought I could do it with this car.
