Stromung vs 034 exhaust vs FMIC?
I am sure this will open a can o' worms, but what the hell. If you had say $2k to spend, would you do an full exhaust including EM, or a FMIC? Assume that the car in question is a 95k mile S6 with MTM Stage 1, BBK, a "built" AAN head, Boleros, all maint is up to date and will be receiving a Euro nose soon...in case any of that impacts your answer.
And if you were to go the exhaust route, any opinions on Stromung vs 034? Was leaning towards Stromung but pricing (via the the recently announced 034 group buy) buy is now in favor of the 034. I don't expect either to have a significant effect on power, but am concerned with quality, fitment and sound...nothing too loud or buzzy. I know Stromung has a great rep and sounds nice, but the extra $300-400 can be put towards other cool stuff or something for the wife to keep me out of trouble.

FMIC, but the euro nose hurts that idea so exhaust and Em, I'm partial to Stromung
but thats good money saved toward a intercooler option when the beans get sorted. so 034 sounds like a good bet

agreed - euro nose complicates the FMIC. Happy with my Stromung and can't comment on the 034 - but
don't skimp on the EM - probably the most important part of what you are planning.
