Default Help w/HP added ?

Just added Corsa sport exhaust as well as a K&N cold air intake system while at Carlisle.
What would you say that I should expect to see in HP gains?
I have a 2007 A6 coupe
Thanks for your input.

~10rwhp

Do the free cold air mod and it'll help the intake out a lot.

I saw no gain in trap speed with the cold-air mod. Same traps as I did with the shroud closed up.

Interesting, next time I go to the track I'm going to test it open and closed myself to see if I net anything...I KNOW it has to do SOMETHING, because it is definatley directing air in the better direction, but we'll see just how much.

Not big gains.. but possibly better throttle response and upper rpm pull.. could even get better mileage if you can keep your foot out of it

Exhaust = 0

Intake = 10 at best

Put your money in a set of headers and a good custom dyno tune.
