Are the Milltek downpipes the only ones readily available for the RS6??

Also the IC upgrades is it just the wagner / Loba motorsport ones??

I think you can get decat downpipes from Unit 20, MRC and QST that are non Miltek for about £700.

But with I/C I think we are stuck with Wagners and Loba at the moment.

I looking at some at the mo and gonna choose Wagners, when I can put my hands in my pocket and find the cash. As the have wider intake pipes me thinks. Not knocking Loba but looks like they welded a bigger core to the stock pipes.I could be wrong. Again its just personnal choice and probably the choice of the majority.

Somebody posted a link to a US company that was refurbing the Audi IC, reusing the end caps. There was a thread a few months ago. They didn't look brill to me, but might get you out of a pickle.

You won't see any power gains from changing the IC unless you are already heavily modified.

Oh, and the pipe sizes are the same as OE for the Waggers.

It's Apikol over in the US that re-core the standard intercoolers. Maybe not quite as slick as the Wagner options and the core size used is slightly smaller.

Pace inter coolers in Suffolk have a good reputation, and can recon your old one. Personally I haven't had pace yet, but a few of my friends have.

I've had a PACE radiator before and it was beautifully made but started leaking after 3 years and couldn't be fixed. Also have a Pro Alloy rad, again nicely made which never leaked. Also had a PACE chargecooler which was super, and wing mounted intercooler then upgraded to a single big EVO FMIC.
