Default Should roadster be too loud for after market exhaust

Hi guys
I'm wondering if it's a good idea to replace the stock exhaust on my roadster and I need som help
I notice most of the exhaust mods are done to the coupe but not roadster
Is this be because the sound for the roadster would be too loud and unbearable or is it because it's already loud enough in the roadster with the top down

Dude a roadster with an ARK Type II exhaust would sound like pure sex. No drone or rasp, not to loud. Perfect

Not at all. It's because majority of the members on here are coupe owner.

If you want louder exhaust go for it. Want a bit more, add a hfc or tp to your aftermarket exhaust.

Thanks guys
I will definitely research ARK and Berk
There are too many out there to make a sound decision
I've heard the sound of Meistercaft though and it was totally sick
The only problem is that it's freaking expansive

It is real simple, there are more coupes on the road opposed to the roadster!

I have a handful of roadster customers with my exhaust and they absolutely love it. We have 5 different options to choose from so we can appeal to almost everyones taste.

If you are interested please check out the link below and let me know what you think.

Exhaust thread: Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

I look forward to hearing from you and have a Happy Thanksgiving...

Thank you, Tony

Thank you for your feedback regarding the Fast Intension product. I've seen so many happy FI customers on this site who have fanstastic comments on your products in terms of workmanship, quality, and customer service. Do you know anyone in the Northern California who can install this for my car with the same care and attention to detail like the way you install for your customers? Also, is there any way to elliminate the hissing sound when you let go of the gas?
Thanks

My #1 goal is to give the community the best customer service possible. We stand behind every product we manufacture and sell. We design and build our systems in house to ensure the highest quality assurance.

As far as the install goes, we have an Audi distributor located in Stockton, Ca.

Link: JH Motorsports Inc.

Ask for Jason or Dan and tell him you were referred by the guys @ Fast Intentions.

They will make sure the exhaust system is installed properly, the first time! I can ship it up to you or directly to them. The choice is yours.

As far as the "Hiss" that becomes more pronounced as you free up back pressure. It is clearly more noticeable when the stock cats are removed. The is nothing we can do about it. It does not bother most people and in some cases people even like it. Personally I am neutral to it.

Like I said before, if you need anything please do not hesitate to call me directly...

Thanks, Tony
