    Hello everyone,

    Having just bought my first Audi, I was hoping for some assistance and advice.
    I am the proud owner of a 2013 Audi S6 with the following inherited mods :)
    - AWE Tuning Touring exhaust (sweet sound but not too loud)
    - GIAC Performance tune: not sure of the exact HP increase but i heard it is 500+ to the wheels

    A few adjustments that i made:
    - I am awaiting dual slotted "race" rotors from Adam's rotors.
    - Tinted all windows :-). Not legal but looks awesome!

    Any recommendations on my next upgrades?
    - I was thinking of an AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Intake but not sure of the gains here.

    Any insight would be great!

    Congrats

    I got slotted Adams rotors and was surprised by the noise they made under hard stops. Almost like the slots hitting the pads caused a bit of vibration. But they stopped just fine.

    Thanks for the feedback on the rotors.
    Mine are very close to metal on metal, so i hope the new ones land soon.
    I will update all on how they perform.

    Here's my .02 cents. AWE intake looks amazing but could lose some power based on some other members feedback, plus you don't get much intake noise. Painted reflectors, trans mount insert, Bose sub and amp upgrade, Vag com cable. Those are just a few of my favorites.

    Welcome and congrats, pass on the AWE intake, its crap. Spend your money on the suspension bits and the Roc Euro intake. If you do aftermarket wheels shoot me a private message I have several sets from my S6 I need to get rid of.

    I reckomend sway bars and lowering module, the car will handle much much better after these mods.

    Thanks all! Really appreciate the input.
    I ordered the Roc Euro 4.0T Intake :)
    Never thought about the lowering module (H&R), but seems to a good next step.

    keep you posted.

    Here is cheaper and much better module, you can control you cars hight from mobile app and it's very easy to install.
