Mechanically invisible to the dealer, yes.

However, you will have to reprogram the TCM for shift points, and you can't hide that. Of course, it will probably only come up if you have a shifting/tranny problem!

do you spend more or less time in the drone zone rpm with the 373/410 vs. 315? ( during normal driving conditions).

i think you are never in the drone zone because you rpm higher.

I put 3.42's in my A4 C5 and loved 'em (I started with 2.73's so it was a big change).

From 3.15's the 3.73's should be a good boost!

When I talked with Chuck CoW about 4:10 gears for my 2005 A4 he said that he recommends 3:90 gears for the A4. He also said he has done a number of them. I won't pretend to share expertise that I don't have so I'LL simply recommend that you speak with Chuck. He is known coast-to-coast when it comes to C5 and C6 Corvette rear differentials. Do yourself a favor and talk with him before you make a decision.

Best of luck.
