2014 S8 Performance Upgrades
I have a 2014 S8 which I have owned over 2 years. I absolutely love it and drive it like I stole it. I am looking to start to add some performance upgrades. Currently, I have painted the rotors and added Vossen 22x10.5 all around. I am looking to add:
Exhaust- militek vs Meisterschaft
Tuning- who makes the best one
Air filter?
Any other performance mods you experts would suggest?
Also looking for a front grill but it does not look like they are available yet.

love the drag chute idea! I'm just jealous you have an S8 at all. The only front grill I've seen that I love is the Iltek (sp?) all black grill. If it was me, and I wish it was, I'd do whatever it takes to make my car look like the S8 Plus. Which in your case might just be the rear trunk spoiler. It's small enough that it doesn't look silly. Congrats on the S by the way...

K&N air filter is slightly better than the OEM (researched the specs on K&N web site, had to dig far to get), advantage is the life span but w/ Audi Care a new filter is installed every 10k miles // painted, plastic coat, the lower horizontal chrome 'ribs' looks real good / will paint calipers I JAN16 and add decals- four ring silver decals front only / rear has odd surfaces

No debate. The oil collects on the MAF sensors alters the readings. If you don't mind cleaning your MAF sensors when you clean your filter it's not a big deal. But unless you have an aggressive tune, exhaust, etc. there is no point in using anything other than the stock filters as they flow well.
