My day at A-One Auto was filled with Audi content (AWE Twin, Sportec, HID Fogs...)...
...first off, I decided to go oLD sKooL and get some Sportec 19s. I really like the look of the wheels:

Next, Wayne/A-One did an AWE Twin Exhaust install on another S4. Wayne is a professional installer and these are his remarks: the fit and finish of the exhaust is good. The install was a bit harder, not perfect but it was not a big deal, just not an easy straight bolt-on.
My impressions: the exhaust is deep and throaty at idle. Once it opens up it loses the idle aggressive tone and becomes quieter. It's a pretty good sounding exhaust and is quiet. It's a great compromise for those who want a sportier exhaust and exhaust tone but not too loud. Now I absolutely LOVE the exhaust tips and the AWE logo, it's first-rate. If I were to get another exhaust (a quiet one), it would either be the AWE Twin or Forge or Milltek Dual. It's a great looking exhaust. Performance? I didn't get to test it out but I'm confident performance is similar to the UUC VM exhausts. Here are some pictures of the tips *drool*:

Next, I am getting true HID fogs. Will have them installed on Monday. Color temperature: 4,300K like our stock HIDs. I will most likely go back to the OEM bulbs for the headlamps since the 6,000Ks I currently have won't match. :-P
Still working on the complete lower bumper RS4 mesh mod, just waiting for the OEM RS4 mesh from Achtuning. :-)
Audi TT Dead Pedal install: will be installed next Saturday. The Audi TT dead pedal fits but needs cutting and gluing. I already have the Abt Sports Pedals and the TT dead pedal is a nice compliment.
That's all for now. :-)

Flame, you need to get some sleep, you don't make sense. But I gotta remember...
...you are a Monkey and the fact that you can type is amazing!
I assume you are referring to my UUC VM1. I really like it.
Just say no to stock exhaust. :-)
