Guys, my car is fucking loud!
It has an incredible sound to it, but at 180Km/h you can't have a
conversation because the engine is roaring.

Are all A2's like this?
Today I had to put on ear plugs because I was getting a headache and I'm
starting to think its leading me to very slight hearing loss.
Even my girlfriend says she can hear me comming from down the street.

I think the problem is that when I had my downpipe replaced last march
the repair -guy broke one (maybe 2) of the 6 studs that hold the
Downpipe in.
For those of you who haven't been fortunate enough to see a downpipe it
has 2 rows of 3 holes that the studs from the exhaust manafold come
from.

I'm beginning to think the sound is directly contributed to a stud being
snapped and thus the seal being broken.... Causing an exhaust leak!

The sound comes from the engine bay more then the tail-pipe but it
doesnt sound like an exhaust leak, it sounds like a car with an intake.

Any Ideas?
