Default Buying an M6 next week

Wrecked my SS a few months ago and found a NBM 01 H/C M6 T/A non WS.6 to replace it. It's already got a Moser 12 bolt in it! Nothing against A4 owners but wow an M6 makes it a feel like a whole different car. I'll never get an A4 again lol.

Went and drove it the other day and no whine or other wierd sounds. I was worried at first but as long as I don't buy with a whine thats cool with me lol.

Here's a side pic of the car the seller sent me. A few things need to be addressed but overall its a good car. The headers are starting to rust at the bottom but I had ordered some ARH LT's and they came in the mail after the SS was totaled. Car also has 3.73s but 4.10s might find thier way in there sometime soon.

Looks like the current exhaust setup has only one cat. Wonder why that happened.

If this turns into another M6 vs A4 battle, I'll be locking the thread and/or removing/editing the useless posts. Just giving notice.

Cat was put on for inspection purposes. I'll be swapping the hookers out sometime for the race ARH's and ORY.

I hope I didn't offend anyone or open a can of worms with my A4/M6 comments. that was the last thing I wanted to do.

^ I wouldnt worry about the M6/A4 comment, your original comment was made in good fun and everyone has there preferences. Mods just have to warn about it because its REALLY easy for threads to go off topic and turn into A4/M6 wars and nothing gets accomplished because everyone has their preferences and both have their positives and negitives, Congrats on the new car, def. looks clean!

Exactly. Very well stated reply, I couldn't have said it any better.

Clearly, I missed the warning that RPM WS6 posted above. I mistakenly tried to turn this into a pointless M6 vs A4 thread. Because of this, my post has been edited.

I have owned 2 A4 LSX car and 9 manuals. The A4 in a LSX doesn't feel slushy as alot of other vehicles but for me a m6 is a must. Congrats on the new ride. NBM is the **** also!!! Congrats again!!

Here we go.. lol. Anyways, why do you need different headers? they look just like normal water spots forming under where the rust is about to start, but theres no reason to change them. And if you want, just throw a ORY on it instead of the one cat thing.
