Need to line up my M5 CS and the RS6 for a photo shoot to see how the BMW gold bronze compares to the Audi matte gold.

The gold ccbs's of the M are more brilliant I think

Im on 91 so my gain is circa 120 crank awhp so under 100 to wheels and about 120 tq to the crank as well. But this is based of their dynos on 91. I can tell its a better tune than having the piggyback which, while really good and bang for the buck (Racechip) was very strong down low with immediate boost bumps but not great up top over 100 mph. The APR is a true ECU tune and you can tell that its well built/engineered.

@Vic55, agreed on the color difference between the BMW CS and the Audi.

You mentioned with your tune that you improved the pops and crackles from the exhaust. Frankly, I have been really pleasantly surprised with the stock RS6 Performance exhaust with RS mode set on full attack mode how much it pops and crackles already. The AWE exhaust will for sure be louder - which is awesome - but it really pops and crackles a lot now.

I also have a Renntech tuned 2021 Mercedes GLC 63 AMG and I thought that had my best exhaust sound with pops and crackles in sport plus but I think the RS6 is better on the pops and crackles. Yes - a little less loud - but more pops and crackles.

I can't imagine what more sound you have now with the tune and exhaust upgrade!

A lot of RS6 owners on Audizine enjoy the OEM exhaust; I just found that the interior muted it for me just a bit too much. And the 4.0 just needs to be unleashed and the AWE did it but and this is highly subjective, I really like noise LOL. So then I added the 11mode valve controller which leaves our valves open ALL the time. Even in RS2 the valves do not stay open all the time and especially at lower rpm cruising.

Now I did get the tune for the power add but the noise enhancement is icing on the cake and I can still close the valves with the 11mode controller. You should look into that as its literally 200 bucks (or around there). And another thing I did that was a clearly bang for the buck was the ABT sway bars front and rear. The roll, the yaw, and the steering is all but improved. The level of driving in higher speed bends and sharper turns is easily improved. I just dont feel like Im swimming in the sport seats. That is my main gripe about the RS6 Sport seats = no side bolster adjusters.

Thanks, Vic! Appreciate the suggestions.

Vic would this also be true for an Air ride car?

The sway bar mod? Even moreso since the air ride has more flex and compression vs the DRC (dynamic ride control) aka springs.

Thanks ninja 🥷

Congrats! Definitely leave the wheels, they are perfect on the car as they are. This looks way better than the M5 Wagon.

+++ I installed them on my air ride rs7 and added the CETE module. Absolute best bang for the buck mod. Sway bars completely changed the handling dynamics.

Its amazing how the smallest of things changed the 4800 lb machine.

The car was already fun but the lean and roll (due to weight) just was not as exciting as the glorified wheel squat launches but with the bars damnnnnnnnn

[rick504]

Yep. Changed the steering feel too. After I added the intercooler, downpipes and went stage 2, I ended up selling the G80 because I never drove it and now I have 30k miles on the RS7 smh

I couldn't agree more. I added the sway bar front and rear kits on my RS5 Sportback and immediately upon leaving the shop, the car literally felt night and day different. As if it loss 500 lbs.

Should be a mandatory mod for these RS models!
