i hear there is a chip you can get that audi will install and also will not void out warranty? has anyone heard of/done this if it even exists? Im sure there are tons of threads on here i still need to find haha im also pretty new to the forums as well so ill definitely be on here looking at all the cool things this car can do along with some tasteful mods
Do not listen to the people who will tell you that a chipwerke is undetectable. Audi already posted a bulletin stating that they now have the technology to detect if a tuning box has been added. That being said, it is removable and nobody has come forward yet saying that they got caught with it. Its up to you, but if you use the box or any tune, you're taking a risk of Audi shitting on your warranty.
Since you're coming from Subi and have no first hand experience with fixing these cars out of warranty, my advice is to keep the CPO warranty intact, unless you don't care about fronting the cost of repairs. Its expensive if it does happen, even though the B8/B8.5 have proven to be very solid so far, unlike previous generations.
As for tasteful exterior mods, get
ecodes, now.
Black optics or
RS style front grille. Lower with either springs or coilovers (if you're into that), maybe wheels and you're set. If you decide to get an exhaust, which IMO you should, go with the
AWE Touring exhaust alone and keep your stock downpipes.
Congrats on the car and welcome to the forum! Oh and please, please search. Search in google and it'll bring up plenty of hits from this site. Anything you want to know (like what kind of lowering springs should I get, whats the best intake, any good tire recommendations, etc..) have been answered already.
