    tadaaam found it

    http://skn.shp-rp.de/en/news390063.html

    exaust+chip
    wheels, suspension

    they promise 500+ hp, but thad doesn't sound realistic according to info guys in "RS5...blablabla in Geneva" posted. I mean the info, that audi already squeezed almost all horses possible with current engine setup. According to my N/A tuning experience, in such stock high perfomance engines it's easyer to decrease hp changinging exaust, then to add.

    I checked other SKN products - and I basically do not think, they made new camshafts. But if they did - this whould not be same all-season everyday-use car as it was supposed to be.

    SKN is advertising bull shit.... I am ditrubting Milltek in Belgium and had them on the phone for another systeml and skaed them the latest on RS5 and they told me they just picked up the car from SKN and they are goign to develop the exhaust just now..... so they are advertising somethign that is not even done..... that is really not serious... of course 500 HP is then bull shit too..... I can't see how an RS5 is goign to reach that just with engin remap and exhaust. I'd love to be wrong of course.... we can still hope too....

    The only way I see this being possible is if they really are running high flow cats and have a VERY aggressive tune. But to do cats on these cars the engine must be lowered out of the car and that seems like a lot of labor and $$ for the HP gain you get...

    agree with you MihokS5.... the only thing to be confirmed is if there is secondary catalyst easility available to remove or not. bascailly the firt central front mufflers xould i nfact be the secondary catalyst. If so then there might be some more gain then initially thought with the exhaust....
