C7.5 RS7 upgrades

[gaudium in veri]

Contemplating the following upgrades for the car. Thoughts?

1 - Unitronic Stage 1+ software upgrade. Seems like Unitronic is a must-have and appears to have decent reliability and good power gains. The only other software option where I live is GIAC (which I had on my B8 S4) and APR (and the dealership that carries it never got back to me).

2 - Wheel upgrade because the 275/30/ZR21 are too skinny. Thinking ADV1 MV2 series. But still super expensive for wheels.

3 - AWE s-flo carbon intake. After looking through the forum, this component doesn't seem to be of any practical benefit.

4 - Arkapovic titanium exhaust. I currently have the sport exhaust which I really like. I'm not sure the sound & performance of the Arkapovic will be that much better, especially for the price.

Akrapovic sounds significantly better than stock sport exhaust for sure but whether it's worth the price tag, that's for you to decide. Don't bother about the performance gain because the added up to 10HP as per Akrapovic's claim literally add nothing to 560HP car. You can go with cheaper choice like Miltek which may not sound as nice as Akrapovic but more than twice cheaper but at least to my ears Akraprovic doesn't sound twice better than Miltek.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about our Performance Software and UniConnect+. You can also choose to add our Downpipes, which would allow you to upgrade to Stage 2, which would be a nice addition with your sport exhaust. Feel free to email me at john [at] unitronic [dot] ca.

That's a pretty accurate assessment right there. Probably not worth the price difference but most exotic sound...
Love mine :)

Oh man....sick!

Thanks for the feedback. I think just the wheels and unitronic software and downpipes are the way to go for now.
