Default So I have found out I fooled myself into thinking the A6 would be the end of MAJOR modding days..

...and that I would not be able to spend "thousands" by getting a Caddy.

There are many options for the A6, exhaust wise, from mufflers and larger piping to complete systems.

Intake on a 2.7T is limited, but there is stuff out there if one wants to spend money.



One sleepless night has yielded me the following already for the big V8:

Corsa Axle back ($995):

Borla Complete Syetm($1,095):

and even a system offered by Cadillac, complete with "aggresive growl"($1,095):
<img src="http://www.cadillac.com/_res/i/acc/06_cad_cts_exh_01.jpg">

Pricing on these actually comes in cheaper than a full system for the A6 from Milltek at $1,500.

Oh, can't forget about intake...
($450)

&lt;SIGH&gt; And so it begins.....<ul><li><a href="http://www.corsaperf.com/corsaSoundDisplay.aspx?tit1=4">Sound clips for the Corsa</a></li></ul>

Default Sure he can. It won't make any gains until WOT above 5500 rpm or so.

It all depends on how restrictive the stock intake system is. AND the K&amp;N will still mess up the MAF sensor if it's hot-wire.
