Upgrade News - The Good / bad / Ugly

Hi guys,
Well i spoke to the Audi guy today, he just arrived back from Germany.
To cut a long story short.....
2 items only in Development for RS4..confirmed
Chip -
In late stage of R+D, the chip is real and is currently installed on some German test cars being driven ATM..... how long this will go on, or if it is close to completion is unknown by my guy, but there is a chip and it is coming!!!
it sounded like he had asked some questions, and sounded believable
Exhaust system-
In R+D stage again, he dosent know how far along it is, he didnt know if already installed on test mule.
So at this stage the chip seems to be the only sure thing...i guess it could have been worse news.
its all i have for us atm... im a little dissapointed re exhaust, i have H+R springs /sway bars fitted next week, will post pics,
But what i realy wont is exhaust, considering ordering Miltek/non res/valved/catback tomorrow.
would really appreciate any feedback from miltek owners. thankyou guys in advance
regards

Chip? More output? Doubtful, because RS4>R8...not good marketing for the R8.

Why would they make an upgrade chip available for the R8?
It is a brand new model. Doesn't make any sense.
Why would they upgrade a brand new model right after the press finished reviewing it?
It would be great to see, but I am VERY skeptical.

Order the Milltek for the incredible HP gains!
Just kidding. . . it's the exhaust note that keeps me smilin'. Once you get the set-up, drive around your neighborhood in 1st gear (seriously) and make sure that your windows are down. Enough said, check, please.
