There is no substitute for cubic inches except cubic dollars.
well i argue that the v10 twin turbo in the RS6 would beg to differ

And I would observe such a beastie is unobtainium in the North American market...it's an avant as well.

The E63s are available at heckuva discount for cars that cost that much new.

wow are you serious, you should have just gotten a C6. but i do like the intake a little, I just dont see how it can possibly be ram though..
and I dont think ram would even matter for a 2.7T, do you really think that the psi from the "rammed" air will really be higher than what the ecu asks from the turbos, or even have any effect on the turbos or the boost? I dont think so... your just making the car less aerodynamic...

maybe i cant afford a 50k car and i like the way the new grills look, and the intake just less restricts the airflow that the turbos are sucking plus it makes a nice sound too (:

ok, how about ive been modifying cars for allmost 10 years and i like changing the way cars look. i allready have a 2004 2.7t audi and i love every thing about it but i like that kit to change the front end. all my cars a paid off also, if i want a car payment i could probably get a 2008 s5

people are giving you a hard time because conversion kits can be done wrong..... that being siad it looks like your going in the right direction, jut dont cheap out on the paint job

also, that air intake you have really was a waste of money, you could have kept the stock airbox and just put a cone filter on the end, would have gotten you the same results (and cool sound effect) for a lot less cash. although i cant argue with how sexy it looks with the hood open.
