I think if you go with dp's and the fuel pump and fuel regulator you may experience tranny failure. There is one place I know of in the US that will rebuild RS6 trannys Level 10 they are in NJ I think.
2nd that the RSN-E is amazing!!!!! Probably the best mod possible. SD cards for MP3's, DVD Nav, BT capable, Sat Radio capable endless things with this unit, video /ipod....
Euro interior is amazing as well.
Here are some pictures:
Sportec 20's
Bilstein PSS9's
Dahlback Air Intake
Not a great pic but euro recaro rears
Euro Recaro front:
Milltek tips:

I have always seen/etc that SE exhausts were black, non SE exhausts had chrome tips, and never heard of an exception until you.

Pyiu, Thanks for the tire info. How do you like the Contis?
M5Kid and Marcus, Next time I'm out at the race shop, I'll try to find the box the stock exahust is in, pull a part number and check with the dealer. Shouldn't be difficult, but I just have to find the time. Is it possible that the dealer or AoA switched out parts? Sure, I suppose it's possible, but I've heard the sound enhanced exhaust on other RS6's and my stock exhaust was the same (at least to my ear). Either way, the Eisenmann is on the car and the new Sportec is in a box waiting to go on. And, of course, the original sticker clearly indicates sound enhanced.

So, your switching out the Eisenmann for Sportec? Curious as to what you prefer about the Sportec?

The Eisenmann sounds great, and I do like it a lot, but it's only a from-the-cats-back (i.e. a non-cat back) system. The Sportec includes the cats. I might end up installing the down pipes, as well. Just another project.
As it may turn out, though, the car may get sold before any of this happens as I may be moving overseas.

CornersWell,
Not calling you a liar by any means, just stating my experience. I sent you a PM as well.
Thanks,

No worries, Marcus. Not easily offended anyway. Besides, anything's possible based on where the car came from!
Stay tuned.
Cheers,

I beleive that an exhaust that includes the muffler and resonator (which attaches to the cat(s)) is a "catback" exhaust. Including the cats in a muffler system is pretty rare, but cool.

Ok, M5Kid. Corrected. We'll use your terminology. All this terminology is daft, anyway. Full, 3/4, 1/2, cat-back, non-cat-back. Whatever. The Sportec has the muffler, pipes and cats. The Eisenmann has the muffler and pipes only. I'll see if I have a picture of the Sportec around somewhere. I may even have a picture of the Eisenmann from when I purchased it somewhere.

Here's my beast.. No issues...
MTM stage II--MTM software together with 2 ITG performance air filters and a stainless steel cat-back exhaust system will bring the horsepower up to 520 and 516 lb/ft of torque. The exhaust system is electronically and vacuum operated to open and close Pierberg bypass exhaust valves. This makes for 2 very enhanced exhaust notes. MTM performance transmission management software. MTM performance tiptronic software
Bosch sport bypass valves
MTM- Front & rear spring perches for 15mm lowering
HRE Competition Series C21--19x9----2.5 inch lip(rear)--2 inch(front) red,blue,white center caps
Pirelli P-Zero 255-35
Tint-30%
3m clear bra
and LOTS of REGGEATTON in the cd changer..
514.9hp----549.5 torque
If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.
Good luck and welcome to the RS 6 family..
