Default Corvette Mod 101
Im finally getting the bug to do my first "Bang for the buck" mod on my 05 A4. It already came wwith a corsa sport exhaust and the rest is stock. Im pretty much happy with the speed but im want a little more louder more lumpy idle to it without the drone. So.... what do you recommend?

If any A4 Tranny owners have a video of their care at idle or have slightly modded cars show me the path...lol. Thanks Guys

3.73 gears. Then if you still need more, headers, high flo cats, and tune...

I would ditch the Corsa's if you want it louder, either that or switch to the Extreme version, then add headers and it will liven it up quite a bit.

The only way I know of to get a lumpy idle is to add a decent size cam

Add dampening material and a sound barrier if you don't want drone.
