I found installing the headers 100 times easier with the tranny out.
I have an M6 so I was able to pull the bell housing off and mount it on the motor then put the rest of the tranny up there.
I don't know if the A4 bell housing comes off or not.
I did install SLP long tubes so they are notorious for all the space they take, another brand may cause no issues with the Tranny.
