Stall / cut out at high RPM
Hey guys, I installed a new exhaust from LT's to cat backs. I also have a duel cone high flow filter set up and a HP tune installed. Since I put the headers on the car will cut out when it shifts from 1st to 2nd if I really get on it. It almost sounds like it's starving for fuel. I am wondering if this is something that would be corrected if I removed the hypertek tune and had a professional tuner tune the car. It is an A4 car. Makes me want a m6 even more. Any feedback would be appreciated.

What are the RPM's exactly where it starts cutting out ? From what RPM to what RPM ?
If it only happens at the very end--It is more likely the safety rev limiter---A stock tuned A4 should shift at 6000-----So if it cutting out above that it is skipping over the shift point and hitting the Rev Limiter-----This can be corrected however with a proper tune
