fre2b,

Can you post a link on where you purchased your intake. I might be interested in getting one later down the line.

Are you still having issues with your traction control???

As for the performance aspect, do you notice any gains in performance and fuel efficiency? Or the only thing is that it sounds more aggressive?

Thanks...

I got it from http://www.scottmarlow.net/CAI/Volant/Audi/Audi.html great guy to deal with

No issues with TCS now

I face bumper to bumper traffic here so can't measure fuel efficiency, its definitely quicker than before. Did I mention how awesome it sounds?!

Next on list: remap

I am about to buy a Pre-Owned Audi 2009 A4 3.2 very soon.
I been looking of the possiblity of tuning, chipping, and fixing body kits on this car and seems it is much harder than I thought it would be.

The only useful thing I found was this:

And I am not sure how reliabile it can be.

I don't think the reliability should be affected on an N/A engine. It's not so hard doing up a 3.2 if you have a good mech.

Where are you from Assadi?

I usually say I am from Middle East since most people would not recognise that there is a country called Bahrain. But recently with out is going on here and the words have reached far east and west, I am sure you heard of the country.

The Audi I am about to buy has 17,000km on it and still have 4 years (unlimited milage)warrenty, and 4 years (105,000km) service package which I will only have to pay for the break pads and the tires.

I will try to post some pictures I took of it later today.

Bahrain hosts the grand prix, you guys were always on the map.

About the car-
She is pretty, black interior with black is just wow. If she's good to drive, pick her up.
Retrofit the led tail lights and paint those wheels black. I have the same on my car,
I'm getting them done in gunmetal gray.

Fre2b,
Can you take a recording of the sound the engine makes after fixing the intake?

And what do you guys think is the best exhaust system in matter of performance and sound?

Did you buy that car?

I'm not sure how to put up a recording here, maybe I could mail it to you or something. Or i'll try to upload a video on youtube.

I really don't think an exhaust helps much unless you change it from the headers, most kits for the 3.2 is the center pipe and exhaust mufflers. Supersprint makes an exhaust for our car or you could go custom.

I would not get an exhaust for my primary car, and tiptronics tend to drone even at low rpms.
