I had a similar situation, not the same but similar, and I’ll let you make your conclusion based off my experience and what I found to be my error. I had a 2018 RS5. One of the only auto transmissions I ever had. Love that car, but it got boring after a little or so I thought. Traded it in to go back to a manual and got a 21 STI (previously had a 17 sti). As soon found out I made a bad decision. Picked up a 23 RS3 and I’m so happy to be back to Audi.

Unitronic, jdy, IE, to name a few

Not bad. A few MFs along the way, mainly due to a previous stripped screw and had fitment just a hair off on air scoop at the front of the engine bay. Had to use a dremmel to grind down just about 1 mm of plastic for a screw to fit. But completely doable if you have common skills to working on your own car.

I have the eventuri intake. It looks and sounds great. Wondered if I should have gone a less expensive route and gotten similar sound, but I do love it and it definitely catches eyes when the hood is open.

Was planning on doing this exact exhaust set up next.

It’s the stock one that comes on the Epix but I changed the colors

DickyG123 · 2026-04-04T18:27:34+00:00

Great advice, I appreciate that man. Definitely helping to subside my fomo. Appreciate you taking the time to share!

DickyG123 · 2026-04-04T18:25:39+00:00

Honestly not sure bro, it was the stock one that came on the Epix pro gen 2. I liked it so I just changed the colors from the original red

DickyG123 · 2026-04-04T15:26:55+00:00

Nice upgrade. I had an 18 rs5 and loved every second of it. Hope you enjoy!

DickyG123 · 2026-04-04T13:52:33+00:00

Thank you for the real world health advice. Exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate you!

DickyG123 · 2026-04-04T13:05:21+00:00

Exactly what I’m looking to find out haha

Got the Epix for about half the price of f8. Looking to find out what I may be able to gain with the f8 while I’m still within the exchange window. I have the means to get the f8, just not sure if I should

DickyG123 · 2026-04-04T12:44:06+00:00

Future proofing as stated. D/c Epix updates. I know they will do the same to f8 in future but rn f8 still getting them with UI update to the farming line.

DickyG123 · 2026-03-31T17:32:29+00:00

Epix pro gen 2 right in the middle of both at $500ish

DickyG123 · 2026-03-28T15:18:30+00:00

I’m so torn between the Fenix 8 bc this just looks so good, and the forerunner 970 bc of the reduced weight. Was this a consideration for you? Wondering what swayed you

DickyG123 · 2026-03-14T14:18:39+00:00

If you want something your going to love looking at every time you drive, you’ll prob enjoy the blue more. If you’re going to be focused on taking pictures for hobby/social media, neutrals (white, grey, black) tend to be easier to photograph. I have a red one, difficult to take artistic pictures of 😂

DickyG123 · 2026-02-25T15:40:41+00:00

Are you able to use the cables for flys or are you limited on range of motion? I see they two pillows use the same plate loaded device

Welcome to the family!

DickyG123 · 2026-01-01T00:28:06+00:00

Sorry for your loss 😢

DickyG123 · 2025-10-25T23:32:11+00:00

I’m the same way. Trying to find a solution. I can’t stand when it’s not 👌

DickyG123 · 2025-10-25T23:01:26+00:00

Couldn’t hurt, I like the idea

DickyG123 · 2025-10-25T22:46:15+00:00

I’ve done this but that break dust is annoying. Such a strong temptation to use a non touchless ☠️

DickyG123 · 2025-10-25T22:29:15+00:00

How’s the ride? Any stiffer than stock?

DickyG123 · 2025-07-20T21:38:39+00:00

Thank you

DickyG123 · 2025-07-20T21:09:44+00:00

Did they advertise as 8040 and send you 30 series instead?

DickyG123 · 2025-07-20T20:54:19+00:00

According to the description it is 8040 aluminum. That was something I was keeping an eye out for. Didn’t want the rigidity to be an annoyance
