That is brilliant! If you keep the color the same, she will never know, with any luck.

Nice stance. How are the H&R springs vs. originals? The wheel-wells are perfectly filled out with those wheels...what ET did you go for?
That Millitek Catback must sound great? Have you posted more details on this great car?

Anthracite. I'm not too crazy about it... but it does a good job of creating contrast on my car.

H&R Springs are good. The ride is softer than stock S6, but it is a tad more bouncy. Wheels are at ET40, and I rub on rare occasion with 4 people in the car with H&R springs or on sharp turns with dips. I let Hartmann know of rubbing and they told me that I should have expected it! That was the worst answer I have heard to date from a company and it pissed me off. However the car is very much ridable with this spring/wheel/tire combo.

Catback Sound:

The car screams like a full-bread race car on the freeway. I can't put it into words... I heard it is sex to ears. It also scares small kids and elderly. Women tend to clasp their hands in-between their thighs during acceleration. I don't know... I think this exhaust does something magical.

I have written many reviews on all the products that I have on my car, just search here by my name.

Did you find that the Miltek sounded different after some break-in? We just put one on today and it sounds a tad less tamer than the videos I've seen online. Ours is the non-resonated version BTW.

Not sure why it would sound tamer... I always drive on S mode and I hammer it. The car screams after 4k.

One thing I noticed on mine is when its coled it will sound raspy when you WOT it.

My car sounds anything but tame... maybe you should step on it and see what happens?

Oh trust me, it is seeing redline quite frequently now. Perhaps our expectations were just too high, like Le Mans GT car high! It does sound loads better than the stock exhaust though.
