this type of advice should be a sticky, then you wouldn't have to bump it.

I petitioned the mods a few months ago to make this a sticky but nothing happened. It will be up to us regulars to tell the newbies to search for this one.

I could us some help on where to go from a cat back magnaflow, vararam air intake and a slp tune in my 06 c6 a6. I like 1/4 mile times but still want to drive around town with out anyone thinking that car is a drag car.
