    He also mentions the AWE is a turbo back which isn't the case unless he has another companies catless bi-pipes?

    The S6 with the RS turbo conversion would do 520whp on 93 octane. I'm thinking who ever loaned him the car fudged a few things. Much like the stiffer springs you guys mentioned. I really wished they had better brake pads for these things. All I've been able to find is basically OEM replacement.

    More than likely it was just a miscommunication or an error by the reviewer. I bet that he confused an Alu Kreuz with a spring upgrade. Since he mentioned that the car had Eurocode suspension it was probably sway bars, end links and AK.

    There are better brake pads available, contact Eurocode as I know they can do street, track or race pads.

    Do you know what brand catless he has? I have the Milltek catless and full exhaust, I was told the Milltek pipes won't mate up to the AWE system?

    How do you pass emissions? how do you not flag a code without the cats?

    The code gets turned off when your tuner codes it out when updating the software after install of the hardware.

    Doh... ruined his seats with Armor All or something all over them... LOL

    I ensure I strictly instruct the detailers NOT to use anything that makes the seats oily or shiny!! Ruins the soft smooth leather finish.

    On the suspension issue....a little after the 4 minute mark in the video, he goes back and forth talking about air suspension and springs, so I am not sure he really knows what he is talking about. It makes me wonder exactly how knowledgeable this guy really is about cars. In general, I do like his reviews and his overall style, but have found some of the presented "facts" to be erroneous at times.

    +1 and there is no excuse since he portraits himself as a gearhead and makes a living out of that.

    He's a douche nozzle... not a fan, in the slightest.
