Default GIAC + fullback exhaust adds a bit of torque which you will feel. :o)

Dealer flashover can be problematic. If you get the Handheld Switcher Module with the flash, you'll always be able to overcome the problem.

Default GIAC overwites the stock programs within your ECU

then a dealer overwrites that at a later date to update your software to the latest version Audi supplies as stock.
