RS6 Upgrade

[Tadass910]

Great advice and discussion topics everyone, many thanks

Glad you get some information, I think that there is no such thing that audi can't see that something has bred done to ecu, either with ecu remap or piggyback they can see everything.

If you want to be safe don't do ecu remap and stay stock, I think 560 hp is more than enough, by the way pe version was just dynoed and got 650 hp, Audi claim 605, so here you go, maybe exhaust you can change so audi won't say anything

I think I mentioned this somewhere else but an dealer I have had contact with had some warranty work refused on an RS6 when the car had a Milltek fitted.I *think* the work was later done under warranty after he got the exhaust removed but I haven't seen him since. Audi germany provide the option of having an Akrapovic exhaust on a new car so I would assume you would get away with having one on in the UK. I was told by an Audi service manager that if your car has a TD1 code it can be removed if the "issue" which caused the code is later rectified. There is a great deal of information out there in every direction about mapping/modding cars. I was told by an Audi salesman that I *should* put a tune on my Audi (a few years ago). It would be really interesting to know the real facts about it all although I'm sure it varies between manufacturers.

Just wonder how Miltek exhaust can trigger warranty? And akrapovic not? They are almost the same exhaust systems, only one is louder and another one more silenced.

I'm just assuming that, since Audi themselves offer an Akrapovic exhaust as an option on an RS6 in Germany, you would have a good chance fighting a TD1 (or warranty claim rejection) on a UK car you'd modded with an Akrapovic. Obviously Audi might argue that the official option is different to the UK version in some way or that it was fitted incorrectly etc..
