Callaway" Honker
I just purchased a "Callaway" Honker air intake along with Corsa sports and a new X pipe. Any guesses on what kind of performance gains I should see. I have not had it to MTI to have it tuned yet. According to my dealer since the car is still under Warranty so I can't install headers with out voiding it. That Bites.

Perhaps 5 RWHP. Not enough to be noticable but it will be louder! The headers will make a noticable difference.

I installed Callaway Honker and Double D exhaust. No noticable difference in performance.

That may be the difference. I was planning on installing them myself. I will have to call my service writer and ask him about it

I like the sound and different look of the Double D. Great craftsmanship on both the Honker and exhaust. Still, I may have to go louder (Corsa Sport).

I just moved to Houston. If you have any *major* issues with the car requiring warranty...let me know. I know of a very mod friendly dealership in Dallas. Headers void warranty =

C6 Honker at the Track
I have a stock C6 Z51 A4 with just a Honker and was able to run a 12.6 with 111 trap time. The Honker really helps the engine come alive.....I am really happy with it !!!!!!

IS this just the headers, or does that include also the rest of the exhaust being upgraded? Curious, thanks.
