Even though I've got a B8.5 S4 instead of a C7, your videos are still a gold mine! I'm currently with an upgraded heat exchanger, stage 3 unitronic (dual pulley), CTS Turbo intake, and am looking at changing my cat setup. If I understand correctly I need to : - replace OEM cat pipes with test pipes, - get high flow cats (I've had GESi suggested but idk if you'd recommend others) in downpipes further back from the engine - later on get a catback exhaust All of it sounds quite expensive but I don't want my engine to blow up so it'll be worth it hopefully

If APR is doing stage 2 still then that is a good deal on the software. I just remember them making an announcement they were going to stop doing tunes past stage 1 for certain cars. Having said that, you can go on the forums & read people taking about their switch from apr to IE & 034. Apr was the first to have a good tune for his engine, but then they moved on to other projects. IE & 034 and continued to support this platform. So... Save money or have a better tune with continued support for improving it 🤷🏻♂️

There are questions in relation to the catalytic. Is your exhaust line only catalyst removed? Other than that, are you using genuine exhaust? I am currently 207mm crank using a pulley and the S6 original exhaust (60 pipes mm). Looking at the forum, I saw many users increasing the secondary catalyst line by 63mm pipes. I'm worried about the opinion that this has a bad effect on the output of Stage 2 vehicles. I wonder what you think.

You don't need to increase the diameter of the pipe with an aftermarket exhaust. It doesn't benefit the car at all.

Not specific to the C7 as it just isn't in high demand. But if you have questions I suggest you send a message to @fatboyquin on Instagram. He had the fastest C7 2.0t before getting his S6.

I got a question. So if I get test pipes is it ok if I get a muffler delete? OR And if I get a cat back exhaust system should I get test pipes as well?? Thanks
@AudiC7OwnersАй бұрын
Test pipes are installed because of cat failure Exhaust systems/mufflers are installed for your preference of how your car sounds. Do some research on catless exhausts for this car bc the rasp is bad if you don't control it

I have a 13 S5 B8.5 I saw your other video about the Cats. Hopefully you read my comment. When I spoke to people online regarding the B8.5 motor. No one mention about the cats. To replace it w test pipe n just move the cat down th exhaust. So for the transmission carry that you mention. Do I need to replace that for my B8.5 vehicle 🚗

Replace what? Your cats? Yes. Same engine, just different transmissions.

Looking at a 2010 A6 with 3.0t. Are there many differences from the C6 to the C7 as far as suspension an c tuning modifications? Would I be further ahead to find a C7? Input appreciated. Thanks.
@AudiC7Owners Жыл бұрын
You would be lightyears ahead getting a C7. Better revisions on all 3.0t parts, & the dry advantage would be getting the ZF-8 trans. There are a lot more aftermarket options for the C7 as well. Its a little more money upfront, but you will be far happier

@@AudiC7Owners thank you! May I ask how you know this information on the change interval? Someone here in Sweden told me it was due for change at 60k kilometers (about 37k miles) for a OEM Audi A6. That's why I'm a bit troubled and have no idea if it has been changed before. Also, do you know if the on board computer will let you know when it's time for the transmission fluid change? Your answers are greatly appreciated!

It's a ZF8 correct? If so, ZF gave the 75k miles number. The 40-50k number came from popular aftermarket Tuners that have excessive experience with the platform. And no, there is no reminder.
