GIGI how did you get the tints for free? How much would a good tint job cost? on average

I also have to agree with GIGI except for the ECU chip talk to the guys at vast they currently have the 2 fastest daily driven tip A6 2.7T's and they also have the fastest tip S4. At this time I don't think AWE (Giac) even have a stage 3 chip for the A6. I know vast dose and they are still working on more than tuning for Stage 3 they are working on a stage 4 and possibly a GT A6

I don't think the kit comes with the downpipes (may be wrong), but if you were to go stage 3 would piggies be fine?

yes i talked to awe when i was thinking about the kit and they said the piggies would be fine ... most of these aftermarket parts are modeled after stock parts anyway so that why vasts piggies are great because you dont have to pay 1000 bucks for downpipes they just take the stock ones and hollow them out and they are just as good

an exhaust is 100% MANDATORY though ... so the kit would come with the manifold you would have the vast piggies and then go with a catback which unfortunately is a ton of money ... i got myine for about 800 bucks but the milteks and such are over a grand!

I really want a tip driver to go stage 3+ and let everyone know how it is and maybe get a 1/4 mile time aswell! Just not the right time for me but itsa dream to have something like the rs6!

I talked with a couple guys today and with the kit you do get downpipes and all of that. They told me it was more than worthless to waste money on the downpipes if you are sure you are going stage 3. The only thing you would have to worry about until you went stage 3 would be your diverter valve. Theyhave been a great help and look forward to what they can do on my car.

I checked their site and it says that yu need DP and exhaust but nowhere does it say they come with the kit. They don't and are not even on the pic.
