Need help with gauge pod rec, quad valence, and more
Hello,
So…sad story is that my 2012 S4 Prestige with every option on it was stolen in Chicago about a month ago. I never really used the back door, so this time I wanted to get a coupe. Also, I really missed having a manual transmission. So, I happened to get a great deal on a 2014 A5 Audi Corporate leased in perfect shape. Don't get me wrong, that is one hell of a nice engine, but coming from a BMW M3, then a BMW M5, then an Audi S4, I was frustrated every time I had to change lanes and downshift to third gear just to get some torque. So, I have New German Performance install the fully loaded APR software and the carbon fiber intake. The performance difference is AMAZING!!! I'm almost happy with it as is…lol Anyway, I know that I want a quad tip exhaust, most likely the APR, as I'd like to keep the car as much APR as possible. However, what do I need to replace the 1 exhaust outlet valence with a quad? Someone asked me if I have s-line on my car, and I honestly don't even know what to look for. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I want to put a boost gauge in. I was looking at the P3, but I can't justify the cost of that to myself. It doesn't seem like APR makes one for the left air vent. However, A.W.E. does. My tuner also recommended a NewSouth Performance gauge pod, as he has one in his 2008 S5, but I don't see a kit for my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
