Thanks man. Most likely they are going locally to a friend, if not they will hit the classifieds.

I installed the full ECS Tuning Drivetrain Inserts but, I Forgot to post these 2 weeks ago or so when I installed them all. I went with the ECS Mounts due to them being Polyurethane and hearing issues with the billet ones making noise.

I already installed the Intake Tube but here you can see all the Inserts as they came from ECS.

ECS Transmission Mount

ECS Front Differential Mount

ECS Rear Differential Mounts

All I can say is WOW! and I am very glad I did all of them at the same time. It made such a huge difference on the 8-Speed Auto that it felt like a completely different car. The slop is gone and the shifting is so crisp it made me take back all the mean things I ever said about it lol.

**Wagoon** · 02-22-2017 05:19 PM

Finally getting around to posting some proper photos of the allroad in its current state. One of these days ill get out with some sun and maybe a few more new mods.

**Turbavanttro** · 02-28-2017 07:52 AM

Love the build Corey. Great to hear your positive review of the ECS drivetrain inserts, I may have to put that on my near-term to-do list. And that bum that strong armed you to buy those nasty wheels did the same to me

The black CH-Rs look perfect on your AR!

Darn good looking machine. Are you maxed on tire width? Just a tiny bit more meat / less stretch on those sidewalls would increase the aesthetic significantly (for me).

Thanks, They are not maxed, but the tires I am running are super narrow which i didn't find out about until they were installed. They will be replaced with a different tire brand.

**Wagoon** · 03-27-2017 05:11 AM

Stumbled across this!

**Killerboots** · 03-27-2017 06:22 AM

Nice touch!! Very cool improvement.

Thanks Man, it wasn't on my initial list of mods to complete. But one jumped out at me and I made it happen. Just need some RS4 Handles now.

Also I got some Llumar Tints installed since summer is around the corner and the front clear glass didnt match the rear factory glass and drove me nuts. I had them throw 15% on the front windows and they brought the factory rears which started at around 29% down to around 15%, and then the entire front windshield is at 50%. I can already tell a huge different on the heat inside the car

**Wagoon** · 04-16-2017 10:50 AM

Thanks to @killerboots for hooking me up with a Air Leather Knob with Titanium Stitching. Next will be to replace the wheel for one with some partial Air Leather to match.

**Killerboots** · 04-16-2017 11:00 AM

Awesome! Looks great!!

**dubjager** · 04-16-2017 07:01 PM

Looks great-- keep going back and forth whether to get the air leather knob/steering wheel on my AR.

Love the wheels on your car and how it sits.. Great job!

**jaycurn** · 04-16-2017 07:26 PM

Looks amazing! On the hunt for the same knob...

I am thinking of maybe getting this kit very soon. Now that you have had these in for awhile, notice any additional NVH over stock? I notice some folks (Killerboots, etc.) do the Apikol rear diff mounts. Do you know what the difference between the Apikol and ECS mounts are?

**choppstixxx** · 04-28-2017 07:44 AM

Random question, what grill did you use on your prev. A4 sedan? I am looking for that exact style one with the chrome trim/black RS4 mesh.

Hit up you up via PM. But no NVH. And one of my favorite mods on the car

S4 rears? Curious to read your thoughts after installing. Unfortunately the Q5's won't clear my wheels. Looks like BBK only option for me.

Picked it up from the classifieds here awhile back. This particular wheel came out of an s4. I had a sport wheel already and just re-used my airbag. I do have to swap the badge for an s-line badge however.

Haha. A few different things happening here today.
