Car looks good man :tup:

I hear ya on the 2K exhaust, just keep an eye out for a used one. I will tell you that EvoMR on here has the AWE exhaust and it’s absolute perfection of sound.

Thanks everyone

Jeller, ya the awe is absolutely sexy sounding. If I could find a resonated one for under 1200 I would get it, but for now my $200 xpipe mod should cure the lack of sound

Hot damn that car looks amazing. Really love the Caractere kit and that is the perfect drop. How is the ride with HR OE and stock shocks/struts?

On most roads it’s great, really bumpy roads I can tell the difference but my wife hasn’t complained yet which means it’s not bad at all

Just want to chime in on the awe exhaust- I have one on my Jetta, a previous owner purchased it. I have to say it still sounds great and probably has well over 100k on it. So not only do they sound great, but they last 4E

Car looks great, btw

Thanks everyone

The awe is absolutely a great exhaust, I just can’t justify the expense for the sound without a significant gain in power

My AWE setup does sound awfully good though. I wish APR would release stage 3 already.

i agree, but by the time you buy stage 3 and all associated mods it seems almost pointless spending 80+k for the performance of a stock s6

Thank God. I drool over every picture of your car but I hated those silver things around the fog lights.

Looks so much better!! :tup:

I think the fogs looked better matching the mirrors, now it just looks like a bit of a weird shaped black area.
