    Stasis exhaust and lowering kit vs Tubi/HR springs

    I have looked into the prices of these components. Stasis exhaust 6800 USD and lowering kit 2500 USD, but comes with a warranty. The tubi w/o valve 5000 USD and HR springs with labor 1000 USD. Is it worth the difference of $3500? And would I need to worry about it affecting my cars warranty?

    Re: Stasis exhaust and lowering kit vs Tubi/HR springs

    From past experience, (BMW) I'm going to venture to say that it depends on your local Audi dealership. I had so much work done to my E46 M3, (622 RWHP) and they covered some things they probably should not have.
    In this case, being just an exhaust and springs, what could really go wrong...
    I would save the $3500 and think of another nice mod to do.

    I think you should really consider these options after the vehicle arrives but I suggest you go with the Tubi and springs.

    I been shopping around as well, The stasis exhaust should not cost you 6800. I got quote for 5k installed, and hr springs installed for 800 with alignment. Maybe parts are much cheaper her in ca since more competition.

    H&R makes a good product for the price and if this is a street car they will do the job.
    Regarding exhaust the only real difference will be the sound and price. Most of the additional flow comes from eliminating the secondary cats. Chose the one that sounds the best to you as it will be tough to live with otherwise, long after the sweet savings is forgotten.

    For the V8, there is nothing equal or better than the STaSiS. Its the one choice you will not regret.

    I would go with Tubi/ Hr Springs. I heard the tubi exhaust on you tube and I think it sounds great. If I would have heard it before I ordered the AWE, it would have been a tough call.... I'm getting with AWE/H&R Spring right now. I think your prices seem high. I'm in ohio with no competition in pricing and It will be less...

    When comparing exhaust prices be sure to specify for V8 or V10. The STaSIS has a 1000USD price difference.
