If your planning on having it done for you it will run you a shade under $2K... mabye as low as $ 1,500 if you live in a low wage state. You should be upgrading to a shot peened (hardened) drive shaft. Pound for pound the most noticable mod you will probably do for the money in terms of WTF was that!

Only benefit I can see with the 3.15 is better gas milage, and if you EVER wana sell your car, you can sell it as, "Performance axle" option. 3.15 as standard perf optional upgrade on A4's. 3.42 would be considered aftermarket upgrade. I'm sure someone might chime in..
