Re: This can only end poorly
Not much difference. It's more about smell/clean air vs cost. Also if I venture into Oregon or cali with it not sure if worth the risk. Lol.

can get these for $1700 total - catless - https://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog/p ... egory/342/
Or $2100 with cats
With LT the only benefit of cats is smell/emissions. Either one will throw codes because of temperature where the rear O2 will sit.
Really struggling to not pull the trigger.

Re: This can only end poorly
Well, did more digging around.
Got in touch with another vendor.
Ordered a set of ARH Headers with cats for $2000 total including tax/shipping. Direct from ARH would have cost $2600+
Oh lord. This is ending poorly...

Re: This can only end poorly
This probably put me at right about $30k total, including parts and car.

Not for a clean one. C6Z still look to be upper 30s for a good one. I also don't want a manual so... Rather build out an A6 with supporting transmission and engine mods.

Re: This can only end poorly
I can create a custom welcome message on the DIC when the car starts - any ideas?
