If you had 20k to spend on your RS5

[xquizit]

What would you do?

I will have a budget of 20-25k here soon and just want to make sure I am not over looking any possibilities with the mods I will be adding.

So far on my list I am looking at the following:

1. Accuair system.
2. RSV Forged RSM7 Wheels
3. ECS Carbon Fiber Intake
4. Ecode Headlights
5. APR ECU Flash
6. Either Akropovik or Capristo Exhaust. Still have not finalized which I like more.
7. Possibly a custom designed wrap.

Trade in for a R8, or GT4. whatever is achievable. Need something lighter.

Not looking for a new car as I enjoy this as my daily driver not to mention I like the looks better of the RS over the R8 and I really do not like the look of Porshe.

Appreciate the added info. I looked into the HMS over the Capristo and Akrapovic. I love the way it sounds but I can't find much on it if it drones too much.

I have been looking at trying to find a custom hood/roof that is carbon fiber but can't really find much. Tried emailing PPI design to see if they could make a carbon fiber version of the R8 hood for the RS5 but no luck there.

How did I leave out Ecodes!

I have two sets incoming too

HMS does not drone at all when valves are closed I have experienced it in person

Appreciate the input! Didn't know of another ECU manufacturer other than APR for this platform. I will definitely take a look at SKN.

If you want the ultimate of the ultimate when it comes to an exhaust, no other system will match Akrapovič. Since 1990 Akrapovič has been making the best of the best when it comes to exhaust systems, which is currently being manufactured out of their 270,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The titanium which is used for their exhaust systems is extremely special, and it's only used by Akrapovič, not for commercial use, nor do they use commercial titanium. Truly, Akrapovič is the top of the line when it comes to perfection, it just so happens you have the added benefit of sounding like this:

It always is. The larger the lifestyle the more money you need.

@shonseb

I will be upgrading the brakes to Brembo's.

I also will be placing an order on some nice forged wheels. Not sure how light weight but they will be looking nice!

My money just needs to hurry up and come in!

[S5CooP]

Is this your actual car? I'm just wondering because I'm in the process of putting some aftermarket seats in mine and i've been trying to figure out what to do with the side airbag sensors along with the passenger occupancy sensor. if you have any info on these please let me know.

[S5CooP]

Yes, it's mine. We have not yet codes around the sensor light on dash so it's still on. Also, my tech mentioned it's very likely that all airbags will still work but you would lose weight sensor in passenger seat, so no kiddos up front anymore. Other than that just cap the sensor cable... And put in new seats
