Got My New S4!!
Hi all,
This is only my second post here. I finally got my new S4 early in February, and I can't get enough drive time in it! Even with the sloppy Calgary roads it's still a blast!!
I went with white exterior and the two tone alcantara/leather interior. Got the windows tinted as soon as I got it. I do eventually want to put a new exhaust on, but I don't want it to be too loud when cruising. I'd just like it to sound a mean when I get on the throttle hard. I was hoping to hear someone else's first before I made my decision, since youtube video's can sometimes be a bit deceiving in terms of how loud the exhaust might be inside and out...
I hope to make it out to the next meet for the Calgary Audi Club so I can join and meet some of you.
Here's a couple pics after a messy day of driving... (not sure if I'm attaching them right...)
I've found all kinds of helpful info on this forum, hopefully I can contribute soon!

Thats what I'm talking about..... another S4
I know the feeling about not getting enough driving time. I found that my drive into work went from 5 minutes before the S4 to half hour after purchase.
Hope you stick around. Say hello to the Calgary fellas for me.
Enjoy the full size shots!!

I'd like to do a few. I'll find some black rims when summer comes along. Also, over the next couple years I'd like to do coil-overs, exhaust, chip and big brakes. I'm in no big rush, I haven't got much to complain about on it...
I'd like to do the brakes purely for looks, but they are a pretty pricey thing to do for cosmetic reasons only (i don't go to the track or anything)... But I've noticed that some of the porsche brakes were bolt on (or bolt on with a simple adaptor) for the B7 S4's, I hope we can do the same with the B8s too. I haven't spent a ton of time looking yet, as the other mods are cheaper.

Very nice! Where did you buy it from? I have a Milltek non-res w/downpipes on mine. It's probably the closest to a V8 sound of all the aftermarket B8 S4 exhausts you can get. Sounds nasty when you get on it. The APR and the AWE are nice but they sound a little raspy for my tastes. Stasis is known for droaning issues. Milltek also makes a res version which is a little quieter. All depends on your tastes. Do you have a 6MT or the DSG? That also makes a difference depending on what you want.

Thanks for letting me know about the exhausts!
It's a 6MT. I went to Regina to get it, which I was really happy with by the way. Plus it was good to have it broken in on the drive back to Calgary!
