Default Performance Axle

Thanks to all for the F55 observations.

Now how about pairing the 2.73 performance axle to the automatic with dual mode exhaust?

What effect would that have?

Again, many thanks!

Just buy a 2008 Z51, NPP with the A6 and you will have what you want and are asking for.

The performance axle (2.73) will make the car even peppier. At $395 it is a no-brainer.

My 08 has the 2.73 (Z51) and I can tell a real difference between my 07 and 08. I know this is a combination of the 2.73 and more horsepower, but I really believe the 2.73 helps
