      Trap speed of 99 MPH? Or is that your typical no spelling and always have a typo of yourself? ;)

      Seriously, you want to try my JET module? I think it'll work with A4. We have the same year model. Wait a minute! Why would I let you borrow it? I certainly don't want you to be faster than me. :D :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

              yep, the 3" is worth it. that loss of backpressure is a myth. it will do good things for top end too
