Jesse,
Really good numbers from an intake, tune and exhaust! Especially on an A6. They did good with the LS3 and the current driveline. There is a lot less driveline loss with the '08-'09 cars than previous. It always amazes me how much power is on the table with these engines with a few bolt-ons. In cooler temps you'll top 400 to the wheels. Very nice!

Took the '08 A6 in and had the following installed, and tuned:
1) Halltech Killer Bee and Halltech Beehive Cold Air shroud
2) Corsa Sports
3) 160 thermostat
DynoJet results:
1st run: Hp: 371.8 Torque: 366.7
Last pull after mods: Hp: 397.6 Torque: 391.7
Note: humidity was high, temperature at 1st pull: 80 - last pull: 88
Hp gain: 25.8
Torque gain: 25
I know the #'s would be higher with cooler temp, less humidity, and the car being cold first thing in the morning, but, I wanted to share this info for members thinking about the same mods
I welcome info from others who did the similar to their C6
