In Uk i'm sure that noise is not a issue as reguards keeping the car road legal. What is the case in the USA? Would high noise levels make the car illegal?

i acctuly have herd that RB full exhaust is only slightly louder than stock. I have heard a video and the only difference really is that it is a good deal deeper. more of a roar than stock. i dont think it would be too loud to be used as a daily driver.

but hear for yourself

i had a RB Road Race Full exhaust on my N/A S4 FC before i did the turbo swap...but when i had it on it wasnt actually really loud....once you get past 3,500 rpm it starts getting a lil loud...not too much tho.

here...check out my walk around my FC , when i get to the rear of the car you notice it gets quiet...thats how it sounds when the hood is down.

From my personal experience RB exhaust is relatively quiet and streetable. I guarantee you would not pass emission.

The full exhaust from RB for an n/a is loud, but the turbo full exhaust is relatively quiet

Ahh, Racing Beat goodness...

I have a S4 N/A with the full road race exhaust from RB-no emissions, no cats. I drive it daily, and it is a little louder than stock, but way more quiet than half of the exhausts out there on other import cars. It is more of a low tone rumble than anything else. Has a old school hot rod feel to it in my opinion. Love RB stuff-had the same exhuast on my 1st gen when I had it. Would not buy any other exhaust, the fit and quality just rocks. It even stands up to winters amazingly well.

Im some citys they have sound laws. If your car is too loud the police will make you change your exhaust.
