The RB catback will have have nice note, and not be overly loud.

I have an 89 S5 vert NA, and a friend and i were playing with the exhaust last weekend.
We went from the factory manifold (no header yet) to 2.5" stainless pipe to a double chamber flowmaster - to a y pipe and a couple really nice tips out the back..
It sounds wild...
I never heard a flowmaster behind a rotary but it sounds tuned... sort of like a 350z or G35 tuned exhaust... just a lot louder.

Flowmasters sound good, I'll give you that, but damn if they are the "flowmaster". They actually don't flow that well.

The Borla setup is very nice sounding too and is extremely well built. I had one on my previous NA FC and it was on the car nearly 10 years through many salty winters. It looked about the same when I took it off as when I installed it. Back when I bought it in 1998 or so, the RB exhausts were not fully stainless so Borla made more sense for a snow belt daily driver, but I think the RB is now all stainless.
