Default New Allroad Owner

Just wanted to say hi. Looking for advice from all the tuning gurus out there. What can I get myself into?

Default Engine mods are pretty much along the lines as those for the b5 s4...

...and depends on what you have (2.7t vs v8). For the 2.7: chip, exhaust, etc. The link to the faq has more info. (not much on engine mods yet though)<ul><li><a href="http://allroadfaq.com/">http://allroadfaq.com/</a</li></ul>

I have a 2.7T. I had aspirations of big hp, but I heard that the tippy is weak. I don't know if I want to dump $6k into a tranny rebuild.

Also, I know what the basic mods are, but I'm interested in first hand opinions. Which chip? I had a GIAC in my RS6, but I hear APR has a nice program. Which exhaust, etc?

Default I'm planning to get a manual, so trans issues are much less. As far as chip...

...the generally recommended one is that which you have a local dealer for. All of giac, apr, revo seem to have a good reputation.

For exhaust, I'm happy with the apr on my a4, and plan to do the same on whatever ar I end up buying. (I previously had a borla, and that's *way* too loud in an avant!)

Default I dissagree on the borla....had one on my A4 avant... best exhaust

I loved the borla.. .sounded good, outside and in.... the milltek was always sorta raspy... apr was nice, but expensive...

I wish they made a borla for the allroad... i'd get one in a heartbeat!
(need an allroad first )

Default Your borla was a little loud...

I could hear you coming a few blocks away, esp if you were on the gas.

I'm doing the same thing you are...doing some homework on the AR's.
