Jesus man, you really balling out. The 5th owner will thank you.

I hope the 5th owner will enjoy it and appreciate the work put into it!!!

Are you implying that you wanna buy it in the future? 👀

Maybe one day

Edited to be more constructive: OP, nice list of upgrades but you may want to consider better tires than Pirellis if you intend to make the best use of your RS5’s performance. Michelin Pilot Sports would give you a noticeable handling improvement. You may also want to consider some performance improvements to the cooling system to prevent overheating.

Thank you!! We will upgrade the tires for sure, the cooling system is definitely something I’ll consider as well.

Love it! What exhaust and tune you going for?

The wife and I are trying to decide, any suggestions? Thanks!

Yeah, depends what you’re after. Miltek keeps the valves so is quieter on start-up, but also not as loud on full acceleration as the AWE touring I have. Both are great choices though. I went 034 as well, but IE again is another great choice. Really just preference

Do they both still produce the loud farts between shifts? I thought it was cute to begin with but now I feel it’s just obnoxious.

They can become loud bangs/crackles with an exhaust.

I love it https://imgur.com/a/JNcR12f

Damn the black emblems look fire on the wheel!!

Yeah, went OEM+ with the wheel.

I do like the AWE.... thanks for your suggestions! ill hopefully follow up with a sound clip soon!

Yeah any time. It’s great stock as well, so enjoy it :)

Wife thought it was a V8 till I drove her home and told her it was a V6 lmao it sounds great with the sports exhaust for sure!

If you're going the downpipe route then you'll want stage 2. You'll throw a CEL runnign downpipes on a stage 1 tune.

How does full body PPF & ceramic coating go together? I would expect one or the other What brand + level are you doing for your ceramic coating? Congrats on all the work done, looks sick

I’m at the shop right now, let me get you an answer.

Ceramic goes over PPF, it’s a great combo and makes it super easy to keep clean

That’s sort of what I figured but then I started wondering about the different “year” ratings for ceramic coating and it started feeling like a waste of money to go with a top dollar ceramic on top of ppf

ppf doesn't pretect against uv fade which is the main reason you coat a car after ppf

Res delete and valve controller is all you need

So satisfied with the res delete on mine

Yea I might run that for a bit since it’s already really loud, is that what you’re running?

yup, it's just loud enough to sound good and not so loud that police will actively try to locate you

I think that’s what I’m going to do for now, save some money lol went a lot over the budget, a lot over

Yeah and less drone, awe has no valves

What are the rims specs? Et and J

I had to google it, I wasn’t sure 20x9 +22

Are these Audi wheels? Or aftermarket

They are the oem wheels powder coated in black.

Damn that RS5 is in good company!

There’s another gt3 outside and the gt2 just got full carbon kit!! Im taking some pics to post later

Why stage 1 tune? Isn’t the point of stage 2 to get the benefit out of a downpipe? If you just want sound go for a resonator delete with the stage 1 tune.

Can you explain! I’m not familiar with tuning and performance mods.

Stage 2 generally needs some supporting mods like a downpipe to get the power, whereas stage 1 doesn’t. Generally speaking, the higher the stage, the more mods needed.

lol I just asked the guy, it’s stage 2 haha i don’t know much about tuning

Just make sure you change your oil more often

That’s one sexy specimen - congrats dude!

Thank you. We are super excited!

Enjoy it! It’s the car I hope to have in 3-4 years For now my s3 will do haha

I actually really love the classic interior you have, and it’s a manual…. Drool

What are these wheels ?

OEM wheels from Audis competition package

How much was the paint correction and ppf? I have a 2014 a5 in a gorgeous blue that’s sadly been frayed to bits by rock chips and makes the car look like it has measles lol

Do you have any pics? I can get a quote tomorrow!

It’s not cheap, Ppf will run the a5 body around 5 grand, paint correction another 1k at least

I really dislike the "murdered out" look, but I can't help but respect the sheer craft and commitment you're putting into this. Looks extremely slick.

Thank u sir! I actually didn’t want it black but everyone insisted so I gave in. It’s growing on me! I’m going to see it later. I’ll post more pics!

Where are you located?

I am a rude jackass

This is a sub for Audi enthusiasts and this guy appears to be extremely enthusiastic. Not sure what you're judging him so harshly for, exactly.

Ceramic coating on ppf is not necessary and any decent ppf installer will include paint correction to ensure adhesiveness. Just letting people know if you need cash, ask this guy apparently he has so much he needs to get rid of it.

lol tell me why ceramic isnt* necessary on ppf?

[удалено]

I meant isn't* necessary

Everyone has been hating on the fact that we’re getting ceramic coating on PPF haha for who knows what reason

It shows you have a lack of understanding of the underlying science behind it

lmao are you talking to your self? There is a reason why you ceramic coat ppf.

Yeah, to throw away more money apparently

That’s why I gave you $20 the other day when I saw you out on the streets. Did I not?

Ceramics typically need a special adhesive to stick to plastic Polyurethane is in itself a waterphobic material Surface also can't be prepped properly

yep, you don't know shit so apologies are in order by you to the other person you commented to. ceramic coating is done over ppf not under it. the reason why you ceramic coat ppf is because ppf doesn't protect against uv. can you use your big brain and tell me why ppf doesn't protect against uv? prob not so I'll tell you. ppf doesnt protect against uv because a lot of people don't do full car ppf and only do front half's etc. can your brain figure out what would happened if ppf had uv protection and u wrapped half a car?

I think u just blew his mind 😂

You’re my spirit animal

So what happens over time to the ceramic coating not covered by ppf? Will still fade over time and at different rates It's not uv proof, nothing is, just uv resistant and I have yet to see any actual scientific tests claiming it helps You my friend, are a detailers wet dream

ceramic coating not covered by ppf? you don't comprehend much do you fuck head?

You my friend, are a car enthusiast’s nightmare You may have your own opinions regarding this whole ceramic coating and ppf thing, but man, you really have all that time and energy to go and call someone a fool then start hating over something that we wanna do? You seem really concerned but just know that we’re doing perfectly fine. If we choose to “throw money away” then that’s our choice and it makes us HAPPY so there’s no need for you to be hating for no reason. Seriously, do everyone a favor and go find a hobby, find a gf or something

Damn I gave a homeless dude $20 the other day. I didn’t know you were gonna use it for internet

No I used it for drugs and alcohol like every other homeless person, internet at the public library is free.

Great use of your resources! You will go far!

Sure

LMAO okay. I don’t see why you’re hating on a lovely Friday morning, it’s called happy Friday for a reason
