Yet another GTR thread in the B8 S4 section of AZ
Yes and you’re right in the middle of it lol
Isn’t there a chatterbox? Or a moderator to move it there? Who is the B8 S4 section moderator?

lol hardly… vogz and s4buckeye are the active posters. There is a chatterbox though I’m not sure who’s the mod.
Blake and Anthony are the ones who delete my posts, so I assume they moderate the B8 section.
XS power is back! ;D

Pretty pathetic.
The new XS-nopower salesman is in there referencing a B5 A4 4.2 belt engine swap car using them as ‘proof’
When you read the thread
-
the A4 swap car had to send them back because they didn’t fit for shit
-
two seperate B6/7 S4 owners who bought and installed the headers had to repair and re-weld them due to leaks/cracks
-
both of them later re-pulled the motor (that’s always cheap and easy lol) and removed / trashed the piece of shit nopower headers because they broke again
PIECE OF SHIT
It’s funny, the moron poorhead kids on audizine think JHM makes these for $200 and sells them for $2500 like they’re big fatcats. I’ve seen them made. I’ve seen a breakdown of all of the costs and invoices for the hard parts that go into them, as well as the labour. JHM is making SWEET FUCK ALL on these things because they make them right. If they make $300 profit, it’s a great day. if they waste ANY material at all when making them, the extra labour and materials mean they are breaking even on them.
It’s a really shitty product to make right. Problem is you can’t make them any other way or else you end up with this cheap shit that doesn’t work.
If you have a B6/7 S4 you have 3 choices
-
piggies $free or $350 - gut your precats on the stock downpipes. They work very well. +15hp/tq or so. Maybe 20.
-
2.5 catless stainless $800 - +25-30 hp/tq or so
-
JHM headers $2700 - +40hp/60tq or so…best sound ever…insanely instant throttle response…no drone. Can’t be beat but expensive.
If you try anything else, you’re likely wasting your money. I get that people want to be trailblazers and become famous in a car platform they will own for 2 years max, but at the end of the day, you’re just trying to reinvent a wheel that we have (thousands of us) already invented for you.

LOL… Nice to know that I helped cause bpp to get rid of his S4…
Unfortunately he will stick around and still comment on things like he knows stuff. It happens all the time…trust me. I know I’m kinda like the “pot calling the kettle” right now, but I think I usually add decent points to discussions.
That is the most pathetic thing Iver ever seen.
So…a grown ass man…a grandfather in fact…has sold his $50,000 car because some people on a car forum asked him for data.
What the fuck . What an insecure, weak, pathetic pussy. This guy is old enough that he probably fought in Vietnam. Is that even fucking possible… That someone who was drafted into the military and fought a war is now weak enough that he sold a car because a TOTAL stranger’s post on the Internet rubbed him the wrong way???

Wonder what happened to the asp stage II pulley/tune lol
Or maybe the ASP tune caused a bunch of problems, and he figured the ‘selling because people on the internet hurt my feelings’ excuse was better than admitting it was a garbage tune.
Just a theory 
That’s unfortunate. I guess we’ll never get info now.
Seeing as how ASP basically said they’re not going to continue with B8 development because primetime was mean (yes they claimed they’re stepping away from the absolute greatest Audi tuning market in 10 years because primetime challenged them to prove that their parts work), I think it’s a safe bet that they failed miserably. If you could write a tune for the B8, even if you’re ugly, and really mean to people, as long as you open that bypass valve you would sell 100 tunes over a couple of years . The car will gain 40-50 hp even if you do nothing else. That will sell for $800 easily…and that is the easiest $80,000 in revenue your shop will ever see. Tools will set you back a few bucks, sure, but honestly, anyone who says they are not continuing in the B8 market is covering up a problem.

[quote=“Grimkreg”]So here it is. Was drifting in a parking lot and did some donuts. After this my car didnt want to turn. I cleaned out the wheels and everything and even took it and sprayed them out. Still having the problem and i dont see anymore snow. I went to get on the highway and she shook at about 70+ mph so i got off. At low speeds i have to fight to move the wheel. Near the hydrolock fluid on the drivers side there was yellowish liquid on my headlight and surrounding area and i opened it and it looked the same color and was low. I have no codes or anything but oil light came on but thats not uncommon for me. Ideas?

lol, and it happens again. seems every year some new guy burns up the power steering pump in his 8E S4 every year once the snow comes
