I'd have to disagree on that one. There is an S6 owner here in the Twin Cities
that has replaced the stock exhaust manifold with the OEM RS2 exhaust manifold
and an aftermarket chip, as far as I know, the turbo is still stock. Horsepower
has gone up from 220 to an estimate of just over 300 hp. All of that increase
cannot be attributed JUST to the chip. If I remember correctly, Jim was informed
that if he wanted to go with the Stage 2 chip, he had to have the RS2 manifold.

So yes, a better flowing exhaust manifold will help.

Jim Hidding, are you out there, you could help with the specifics (I think he is
on the 20V list, but not sure about the QList).

By the way, I've ridden in the car, all I can say is WOW!
