Hi
Sounds like either the front piece or the centre piece of the exhaust is broken. It could be blowing or missing. When these go it makes cars sound like road legal tanks, not nice! If you're good with your car d.i.y. you could probably buy the bit from Audi and fit it yourself. I would always buy a genuine one because you get a warranty and they last longer.

This happened on my A6 and was a cracked cat where it meets the manifold downpipe and sounded like an american dragster ! Unfortunately your not supposed to get the cat welded back up and a new one costs around £100 and maybe more for a genuine audi one! Good luck.
