I'll take some the next time I clean it
My driveway isn't level so if you look at the other side it looks like its lowered.
I'm working on the exhaust

I haven't heard the Stasis Exhaust for the B7 S4, but I gotta say that I'm very happy with the Stasis Exhaust on my B7 A4. Best exhaust on the market for the B7 A4 IMHO. Sounds deep and throaty, not obnoxiously loud at all from the interior cabin. You'll get a little drone when accelerating at the higher gears, but that's common for any exhaust.

The problem is try to get the tips to have that staggered look because the B7s have quad exhausts. If it were a B6 I would have already got the mufflers. I might try a muffler delete and save some money for down the road and get a full JHM setup.

I've been catching a lot of flack on Audizine for keeping the car. It makes this decision hard because everyone is telling me to get rid of it. One thing I have to say is Acurazine is much more supportive and I like this forum worlds better. Better support and understanding rather than getting flamed for everything.

As an observation, what I find interesting is that in the boating community it's fairly standard practice to have a compression check done when buying a used boat or outboard, however in the auto community I would consider it a rarity. This may be due to the fact that tracking "age or hours" on boat motors is much more difficult to ascertain versus the odometer in a car, but it seems like cheep insurance for your rather large investment.

I thought I read a page or two back that one of the cylinders compression was below the posted wear limit. 125 compared to a limit of 130. That's what would have scared me off, your brave for keeping it IMO but it's not anyones duty here to tell you what you should do.

I would try to take it back if I were you. Not because of the problems or whatever that you've had but because, and I'm not sure if you're the same way as I am, when you've got it in you're head that something could be wrong with your new car that you just purchased and are looking at different cars, you'll never be as happy with your current one.

Keeping it is of course your decision. If you don't need it as a DD, have large cash reserves and lots of skills or patience, is an easy positive move. The more of those that aren't true, the more difficult the decision. G/L either way.

Today I decided that I should detail everything but the paint, here are the interior pics that were requested. I also took some pictures of the engine bay and exhaust tips.

Here is what lies ahead of me as far as the exterior goes. By far the worst that I have ever detailed it has everything severe swirls, rids, etc. I did test the trunk and noticed how hard the clear coat is. But I will get this done once I order some supplies in the near future.

^ I was gonna say, you're gonna have a fun time trying to get Audi clearcoat to submit 
Clean car! Audi is king of car interiors, IMO.
Do you know what those plastic hook things on the lower sides of the centre console are for? My car has them as well.

I have no idea I was thinking the same thing, maybe they are for cargo nets?

I will probably use the Meguiar's microfiber cutting pads for the first stage, then either use the microfiber finishing pads or foam pads to polish it with M205, maybe use Menzerna po85, and finally top it with Dodo Juice Purple Haze.

So I got the cel read today because the place I bought the car from couldn't fit me in till tomorrow. It read as p0171 which is bank 1 too lean I'm assuming that is a maf problem. Anyways the cel has since turned off without being cleared but I will still bring it in tomorow.

Do Audis have some sort of VAG-COM equivalent or will any OBDII reader be fine?

I love the car man, i actually was looking into a B7 S4/RS4 instead of my Golf just because of that killer 4.2L V8 and i love the look of the B7's especially the RS4. My dads buddy drove an RS4 with a miltek and that car sounded absolutely amazing. We used to own a '08 S5 coupe with AWE exhaust and downpipes, my dad would wake up the neighbors in the morning going to work. Anyways the car looks awesome man! I love the white Alcantara inserts in the seats!
