Default Not as much as for the A4 and A3 series, but there are some things out there..

if you have the dough... The MTM exhaust is out of this world, but I think it is something like $5000, a bit too steep for my tastes. Check it out on the earlier post listed below. That car looks FANTASTIC!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/159689.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/159689.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default for exhaust, you can always just lop off the rear muffler...sounds AMAZING!

dig a few pages back, look for MINOR FACELIFT thread. Audio samples are on Youtube i believe

Default The S8 in your link actually has a Cargraphic exhaust, not MTM...

Maybe the MTM badge is for the ECU or brake upgrade???? Or just for the hell of it :-)?

Oh by the way, got your sig pic on my desktop....love it!<ul><li><a href="http://www.cargraphic.de/stepone/data/downloads/e9/01/00/AudiA8D2_1105.pdf">Cargraphic exhaust</a></li></ul>

Default You could do this....

But then again, maybe not...very little gain to be had by chipping, except for removal of speed limiter, you could do suspension, and put a totally custom entertainment system in there, a couple of companies make body kits, a.s.o<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/AUDI-S8-TUNING-ORANGE-20-zolle_W0QQitemZ250227826970QQihZ015QQcategoryZ9835 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.de/AUDI-S8-TUNING-ORANGE-20-zolle_W0QQitemZ250227826970QQihZ015QQcategoryZ9835 QQssPa

Default Anybody running the H&R CO setup?

I know the fronts are only height adjustable, how is the height in the back?

Default I agree, agent orange is a tad much.......stay with supension or exhaust

maybe wheels....It really doesn't need much....

Default Common S8 upgrades include the following 10 items...

and you can use the Search function to learn more about each of these:

1. X-pipe on the exhaust (not too many exhaust replacements that I'm aware of)
2. Nav upgrades (RNS-E or RNS-D)
3. iPod interface or Phatbox installation
4. Wheels &amp; tires (check out KYNZ's gallery)
5. Trunk spoiler/lip ($60 w/ custom S8 painted)
6. Radar/laser/jammer
7. Bi-Xenon headlights (me likey)
8. PIAA yellow ion crystal bulb upgraded fog lights
9. Sub-woofer installation
10. Tinted windows and/or clear bra

Unless you don't like the S8 suspendo, I don't know why you'd consider switching- it seems near perfect for most owners.

Did I miss anything, guys?
