Default Hey Bob!

Good to hear from you after so long. Yep, I'm coming back to Audi. When the RS4 comes in, I'm thinking about actually road tripping out to your place to get some goodies installed. I assume the full exhaust with cats will not have any trouble passing OBD based emissions testing?

Default Not so good...

My M5 did a lot better. But I didn't drive around in the M5 with the windows down and spinning the engine to unnecessarily high rpms and two gears lower just to hear the motor music either. It's worth the extra gas.

Default Same for me.

22.8 mpg on a 500 mile trip @ 80 mph, just this weekend. This wil probably improve a little with more mileage. Only 3500 on odo. so far. PS: total oil consumption .5 quarts.
