Default Performance Upgrades for 2013 D4 S8

Hey guys this is my first post here. I am completely new to the Audi world and don't know much about aftermarket parts and upgrades for them. Right now I only have a goapr tune but I am planning to do more. At this point I have no idea where to look for aftermarket parts. I was thing about doing a full exhaust and new air intake but that's all I'm aware of that can be done. Any insight or help will be appreciated.

I would consult with whomever did your tune. Are you looking to diy these mods or have them done?

I will and it depends on the difficulty. I'm use to working with older cars and have never really worked on anything this new.

where will you use ~600hp? It can be controlled from an iPAD too

APR in AL is the place to do the mods- worth the trip
(almost did it last Sept) but get two radar detectors, though

G luck!

Briefly on onramps, stop lights, passing, just for the heck of it on an empty road, scaring passengers, etc... The possible applications are nearly limitless.

Yep there is a lot of applications for a lot of horsepower. My favorite is taking it to the 1/8th mile and gaping people in cars they think are "fast"

Better check with Audi warranty if any upgrades you do will void your warranty. I really wanted to flash my car but when I heard that Audi would void my warranty and CPO I backed off.

Piggy Back instead of Flash ECU and you'll be fine.

Thats the generic concept, but not sure there is product actually out there. Do you know of any that are found easily in North America, specific to 4.0T? Also unlikely to optimize tune if it is just shifting values.
