Well I finally got around to having my motor, Headers, lightweight Flywheel/Stage 4 clutch installed this week. All I have to say is WOW and Im not even set up optimally for the headers as my Catback has an H pipe with 2.25 tubing. I also only have the APR tune which I will be switching out shortly with the JHM tune. I simple cant believe how much more power is there. It really is an entirely different car. I know I saw so many reviews that said night and day difference but I never imagined the power and torque to be THIS different.

The best way to describe it is that the car jumps at the push of the throttle. I haven't been able to really wring it out since I am breaking in the clutch but the if you put the hammer down at around 3K, the car just squats down and takes off. Its an amazing sensation. The sound is also extremely intoxicating. It truly is a bad ass wagon...

Oh and Im not burning a drop of oil which was the reason for the new motor!

Definitely one of the most badass sounding B6/B7 S4's I've ever heard.

The headers are more designed for low end torque. Some dyno sheets suggest a 40wtq increase 1000rpm earlier. Though, with sufficient motor work the stock exhaust manifolds may begin to become a restriction at ~350whp... so a car with a blower or nitrous may have a larger increase in whp.

He means that his old motor was burning oil. Because of this he got a new motor which is not burning oil.
