advice request re: your experiences w/these mods
Hi, getting ready to do 1st mods on 03 AE A4 coupe, exhaust & intake. Looking for your for your likes/dislikes from those who have actually used these products. First, have decided on Corsa catbacks, probably w/x-pipe and originally was favoring Touring for deeper/mellower tone however shop that is doing the install highly reccomends Pace Cars stating that Touring is very similar to stock, Pace cars really only louder under WOT. True? Second, was going w/Blackwing but also heard good things about Halltech. They have a new unit fo c-5's(Venom) and I know their Stingers are well regarded. Don't want to go true CAI yet, want to be able to convert back to stock quickly as have extended warranty and know I can always cut the shroud to improve performance later. Car is used mostly for recreational cruising, maybe shows this year and I'm generally happy with the current performance, really looking to upgrade appearance and help it breathe better on both ends. Thanks in advance for your input.

I put the Corsa Touring with the Donalson Blackwing and the car is snappier.....
I like the sound, not too aggressive at idol and for touring.. WOT is opens up alot...
I have read lots of guys that say it is too much like stock... but I don't think so...... also if you decide on headers down the road, the touring system will keep the neighbours happy.....

I wanted Pace Cars, but went with touring because I knew I would be going with headers soon after and needed it to reasonably quiet so my g/f didn't hate the car. If she doesn't like the car we have to take her Ford Contour
