Track Day
Personally I would go AWE. Have had them on all my Audi's (including my current RS5) and they sound great with great build quality for the price. I almost went that route with my old GTS but decided to keep it stock. I have heard one on the GTS however and it sounds killer.

bkkchris-Could you elaborate regarding the AWE? I am hesitant because I don't want the sound to be too loud. I have heard clips and it sounds good, but I don't want a volume that would annoy my neighbors.

Track Day
When I was looking at AWE for my 17' GTS I was going to go for their "track" version which just deletes the rear L/R resonators/mufflers. They also have a "touring" that includes an x-pipe center and tones down the volume a bit and the slight drone that the "track" version can get - although this never has bothered me in other AWE applications so wasn't too worried about the drone effect, but different people have different sensitivities to it. I also believe they do sell a valve controller if you have the PSE and want valve control retained. On my current RS5 they have a slight bit different offering and I have a non-resonated, touring setup (kinda a middle ground between a straight touring and track), and its is loud but in hindsight I would have done the track for a bit extra volume - even the wife mentioned that it could be louder sometime!
My guess would be you would be very happy with the "touring" offering from them but it does add some extra $$$. You can also do the "track" and change it out to a "touring" with a kit they offer if it ends up too loud for your taste/neighbors!

Meh I'm not worried about my neighbors. Let me look into AWE then. Flat 6 told me currently no exhaust works with the PSE button, but let me double check with them.

I'm not sure if it works with the PSE button. I think it works with the sport mode button. As in you have to turn to sport mode and it opens the valve. The problem with techart is you have to cut the original exhaust. You cut the original exhaust mufflers out and clamp the techart in. This essentially makes your OEM exhaust useless when you want to go back to stock when it's time to sell. It's not a reversible modification.
