Assuming you're fine.
I know you love your car...
I'm assuming downpipe and tune are coming off?
I went with EPL for that reason...

I guess in that case I would rather the dude total your car. What a fucking douche.

Congrats on the replacement. No mileage, one year of warranty, and Premium Plus so you got more fixings. Plus the Quattro guarantees the right motor, not that Ultra shit. The brown leather is indeed sexy

I thought stage I was no downpipe on those...stage II is downpipe intake whoosh whoosh noises?
Trans insert probably...
then obviously 034 sway bar...

You get B&O or is that not a thing now?
obviously 1 JL 10 to balance it out...

Trans insert is a DEFINATE, had one on the a3..super cheap and easy mod that made a huge difference. Dont know about the sway bar yet. Rethinking the Tune as well, because I have remaining warranty and a Certified Warranty need to find out if I can get away with it. The car is quick now...I could live with it...

Check out if there's an insert on Amazon...I found one that was like $30.
Tune, you can opt for the APR tune that retains factory warranty.
You can't live with it. That's what I'm here to tell you.

What is this trans insert?

Also, the APR warranty covers for the period of the factory warranty. I don't think it covers for CPO time.

Interesting! I had a pirated ABT Stage One Tune on my A3, but it was out of warranty. I will look into APR. This car deserves the best. And, you are right, I can't just live with it.
