    for those that have a fun car and are in the city late night i suggest you rip down lower wacker (it's basically a tunnel). I had the lambo out at 3 am last night with a little cuttie next to me and the sound is unreal. no great story, just good times.

    Lower wacker can be a lot of fun in the right car or on the right bike. It's kind of like being in the woods at times though... the only difference is that instead of deer crossing in front of you, you have to dodge the crackwhores and bums.

    Didn't turn out so fun for those 3 in the Mazda RX7 last night....

    That said - it sure makes a nice exhaust note sound all the better!

    I was down there the other night, blew up a tire just before adams. it was scary to say the least.

    Got a 2000 Stage 2 S4, AWE Twin1 (no muffler from cats back)...Sounds SWEET!

    My wishes to the familys from last night. :(

    Hit an abutment and the car caught on fire.

    They were college kids home on spring break.

    Very very sad.

    Lower Wacker is very dangerous; not a place to be messing around!

    It's unfortunate for those 3 that died.
    The stories from the witnesses were crazy.

    LW is a nice cruise but you gotta be careful.

    Way up 41, about a mile north of Knauz on west side of street.
    Axelsautomotive.com - not much of a website. Primarily MB tuner (they have a gullwing there now...)
    They do the APR stuff. I had my 225hp TT upgraded about 45 HP there. The guy was talking about some super tricked out A4, sounded like yours.

    Exhaust def. sounds awesome on LW. Do you live in downtown? We might be doing a photo shoot with my 996TT and a few other cars in downtown this weekend. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to join us.

    Back in the day, many years ago before they re-did it. We used to love to run a bunch of us with our Harleys and 2" open straight pipes down there. (A couple of 4 into 1 Kerker headered Kawasaki's and Hondas too.) And you could hear it echoing back and forth through the tunnel. Too much Fun! Like the tunnel at Monaco....but alot closer....;)
