The instant you talk about the S6 being best road trip car you’ve owned, you hit a giant bump on cue. Only the best in the biz can pull that off. You have progressively grown up with your cars but keep making them just as much fun. 👍
Your constant support of Eli is so wholesome
Bought my c7.5 16 s6 in Ohio, road tripped it home to Colorado in one shot was very comfortable with the comfort seat option
Turbo hook.
Subbed for the s6 content!
I ran Redstuff pads in Stoptech brakes on my B5. No dust but easy to cook them and fade. I gave them away when I parted out the car. I like Hawk 5.0 for the street. Audi OEM brakes have always been making wheels dark with dust for decades.
I'm running EBC red stuff on my SQ5 and I don't notice much brake dust on city driving. However, whenever I drive it hard there is a lot of brake dusk.
Before Covid around I think 2018 I got my wife one after she had a TTS. When we test drove it I just couldn’t believe that much car could be had for only 22,000 bucks (it was a 2013 with 70k miles) so we jumped on it. I have an s5 v8 6spd and you’re right the s6 is just another level. I daily an a6 2013 TDI and am a happy passenger princess everytime I make my wife drive somewhere in her S6 instead 😂. Longest trip was about 4 and a half hours one way and I slept like a baby the whole way.
No, you're a great RUclipsr bro, seriously. You just got to post more often. I've got a couple friends who are you tubers and they took off once they started posting several times a week. They told me that RUclips kinda penalizes ya for not posting enough. But I love your videos! Never say your washed up man, other you tubers wish they could deliver such a genuine message. Cheers
I don’t have the time to be posting multiple times a week to be honest. Maybe once I buy a house and have a garage that i can just walk out to at night, but right now with a 2 year old and a day job it just isn’t feasible!
I'm installing redstuffs on my C7.5 this sunday - will provide updates!
You should be a audi spokes person you really helped me with deciding on getting this car 😂💪🏽
i live in boston and love my S6!!!! i am back and forth to new york alot and i think it is actually mofre comfortable than taking my range rover. what exhaust do you have?
A modified S6 won the LA to NYC world record! Should check it out.
You inspired me to get my sq5 back in January. Since then ive driven from ct to flordia and back twice with zero issues!
i run ebc red stuff on my gti with slotted rotors, i get the same results..
on EBC's site red run "low" on dust rating lol
and yellow, green stuff are "medium" dust rating
and blue run "High".
Hey Eli how much it cost or labour time to remove oil screen let's say I was going to move to a S6.
Delaware that’s where I’m at bro lol. Welcome. How did you like wawa? I had a 2016 S3 and now a 2018 SQ5? So I have thoughts on those. I’m not sure what audi I’m doing next. Possibly 22 S3
I own a 2014 s6 4.0t and the power it delivers is wicked in and out of traffic without hesitation I have never owned a car like this it's awesome besides I just bought car with 103,764 and now have 104764 1000 miles later coolat leak near water pump thermostat now I still have a 3000 mile 3 month warranty so fingers crossed or I'm taking front clip off and doing a repair. It didn't show until over night 8 degrees outside.
I swear every coolant leak happens in the cold my 04 Passat didn’t start leaking until it was hot cold hot cold every day😭😂
Love the vids thanks Eli!
How’s the dsg. Makes me not wanna even look into s6/s7 or anything w DSG. Is the mech really that bad?
Not bad at all. Bought a 2014 S6 brand new and currently have 40k miles. Silky, quick, and smooth unless you paddle shift way too soon from 2nd to 3rd. I just leave it in sport and auto for daily driving.
93 octane in the uk audi recomend 98 super unleaded(shell v-power or tesco momentum both 99) wouldn't dream of putting standard unleaded 95 in my s6
I got adaptive cruise control on my 2011 s4
Great video for sure! I owned S4 and Upgraded to S6. It is exactly what you said. S6 is better in every way compared to the S4. The only thing I love S4 better is the linear feeling of supercharge which makes you feel good for the first 2 seconds. S6 is the best one as a daily driver because it is subtle(don’t draw much attention from cops), air suspension is way more comfortable and smooth. However, when you need that power, it delivers what you need. Personally I think sports exhaust is enough for a daily unless you like more fun. S6 and M550i are by far the best choice to enter v8tt world as a beginner.
Don't have an S6, but I have a 2015 Q7 and talk about a road trip vehicle. I've had some EBC Red Stuff in the past and I LOVE the way they perform, but you're right they are quite messy. Thanks for the update! Keep on doing good work!
You forgot to mention if you have the Audi Active Lane Assist. Does your car have it? If it does it will steer for you and keep you in the lane. My A6 came with the adaptive cruise control package but did not come with Active Lane assist. The great thing is, your car comes with ALL of the hardware, radar sensors, and camera in the windshield if you have adaptive cruise control. YOU CAN ENABLE THE ACTIVE LANE ASSIST FOR FREE WITH OBDELEVEN OR VAGCOM! Feel to ask me any questions, I can help you set it up or you can check the Audizine forms. You DO NOT need the lane assist stalk by the way to activate the setting on your dash, it can be turn on with vagcom. Great videos by the way!
I do have lane assist, it’s just annoying and doesn’t work very well 😂
@@IgnitionTube It’s very annoying I will say, but it works better than most cars trust me. I have a video on tik tok of me sitting in the backseat while the car was driving itself. DONT TRY THIS AT HOME 😂😂 my tik tok is @bobbylazz
@@IgnitionTube I also recommend turning braking guard off completely or disabling low speed emergency braking in vagcom. It got me into my first car accident and completely took over the brakes on me while I WAS already applying the brakes and was in full control.
Yeahhhh EBC Reds create a lot of dust. Still better than the OEM pads though.
If you had the comfort seats with AC and massage, it's even better!
ZF transmissions are for sure better. They’re more than quick enough for daily driving use and not annoyingly jerky like a dual clutch.
What kind of wheels do you drive? They are looking really sick
I thought the same thing bro...
Your roads!
I think you could run stock pads no problem. In europe we drive these cars at 250+kph down an autobahn and brake them hard into every 120kph, 80kph restricted zone or into an exit ramp.
The oem pads are made by Brembo. Def sufficient.
Hey I see that special tag on the inside of the driver door. Is your car a special edition interior. Thanks
It’s an “Audi Design Selection” interior. Arras red with red carbon inlays
@@IgnitionTube Luv the interior and car. !
Have a 2007 GTI stage 2 I'm running EBC redstuff pads with ECS Tuning V4 slotted rotors for the first little bit but they should ease up quite a bit later after you do the proper bedding in procedure. I've been running this setup for just over two years still have plenty of pad left and I do take her down the dragstrip from time to time it is also my daily driver
Centric PosiQuiet Pads if they make them for the S6. I have them on my R and they are great! Almost no dust too.
Brake dust just means good brakes. Try ceramics and you will for sure be dissapointed.
So excited for volksbahn!!
I got redstuff pads and they do dust a bit but the initial bite and late braking ability overcomes the dusting imo.
Add a proper radar detector and a Lazer jammer along with Waze and your road trips become epic fun, effortless and of course rapid. My stage 3+ B5 S4 would beat me up. 1000 miles straight in 13 hours and get feeling fresh and relaxed. I e road tripped about 8000 miles in in my S6 over the last 8 months. Couldn't be happier.
Nice video. Also, +1 for ZF being the superior transmission.
Been waiting for this, I got a couple of questions. I’m looking to purchasing a s6. What the best way to contact?
Instagram DMs are probably easiest!
I've had EBC red on the front of my 2013 A6 (with upgraded S8 Front calipers and Rotors) for like 3,000 miles. So far I have really enjoyed them. I obviously don't track my A6, but I've definitely noticed less brake fade then stock. Wheels also stay noticeably cleaner than stock. So far so good. Bought them and the rotors from FCP, so I don't care much about longevity. Long story short, I would highly recommend Redstuff, so long as you've got that lifetime replacement to back up the expensive cost of entry.
I only use Hawk pads anymore
NEVER WASHED UP ELI BEEN HERE SINCE 10k
Just went dual pulley on my SQ5 with a tuned trans. I miss the SQ5 content.
Me too! Just went Stage 2+ on mine. At least we're still getting Audi content.
@@knightriderfan1 how do you like if after all this time?
Now that you have the tune, it's time to head back to Mexico with your buddy and his S4.
Check last video I uploaded lol
@@IgnitionTube will do man. Must have missed it. Thanks!
pretty sick ride champ! If ever ur in Philly let’s shoot! Shoot what u ask? My s5 sportback in front of ur car all day 🤣🤣 #shotsfired
I have a C7 and in Philly want a race?
@@ANHON888 why would I go to an elementary school yard and pick on 1st graders? There’s no challenge in that….
@@as5autotv574 I just want a race. My car isn’t fast but I like to gamble.
@@ANHON888 hahaha agreed! no can do. Car is sold!
@@as5autotv574 if u scared say u scared 😱
I've had the same problem with brake dust, maybe worse. Factory pads gave me the brake dust you have in this video every other day. It was so insane I changed to Akebono pads and they are MUCH better. My suggestion is Akebono pads if you want a safe bet.
Akebono doesn’t have a front pad for the S6 :(
@@IgnitionTube That sucks cause there is a huge difference is brake dust. Good luck on your effort to fix that.
Had EBC red stuff on my mk 7 golf R. it went through 2 brake rotors sets on the same set of pads and the pads still had some life in it when I got rid of them. It's definitely not economical. that's probably your brake rotors turn into dust on your wheels.
your not washed up bro
If anything he’s better than ever
ATE ceramic pads, just got em on my S5, did a short review on my page.
Just got my S6 a month ago, and when he is talking about the rubber band action is true. I really don’t like it, because the process takes to long. There is no quick reaction whatsoever in the S6. Also, if you get one be careful with your speed because doing a 110 mph feel like you are doing 60 mph.
what size rims and what is offset
Description 🤘🏻
Who doesn’t subscribe? I’d never be able to follow anyone if my phone didn’t tell me I needed to watch!
Sophistication on The ride in the S6. Totally. they have a balance of comfort and performance and that basically describes most of the Audi Vehicles S4,S6,S7,S8. It’s like a cross between a Mustang GT any Cadillac combined. Audi is the only one to perfect it in my opinion. Enjoy guys Godspeed and Think outside the box…:) 🤙🤙🤟🏼🤟🏼🥂🥂
The way you hype up this car has me excited for when I upgrade from a tuned B8.5 A4 to a C7 S6/S7 down the line… double the displacement and double the turbos… lol
I absolutely agree with you that the ZF transmission is better than those dsgs. The s4 would’ve been a much faster car if it had ZF instead of dsg IMO
damn! you were in my state.
wish I would have known
Haha just for a quick wedding, didn’t have much time for anything else!
Is there anyway you can contact me so we could speak for a few minutes, I'm unloading an N54 335 and looking at S5/s6 maybe RS..you seem extremely knowledgeable about these
My son's mother? Sure that's personal but you obviously were/are in love in order to procreate. Sorry Eli, "My son's mother" doesn't sound very promising, loving. Perhaps i come from a different era.
Now, back to your S6
Hi, am i first or last?
ripping in a s6 =))) nice joke , its a autobahn cruiser point blank
Hey do me a favor and keep the secret about the s6, well... a secret, I have yet to get mine and the last I need is more people shopping for s6's I've had 3 amazing listings pop up and all were bought even before I could make a offer so... shhhh
LOL 😂😂
Lol my exact thoughts! The S6 was good because nobody knew about it.
@@CamaroSS2236 correct, keep it a secret
did he just say :" my sons mother "? instead of wife ? all that money for car parts but stingy for a ring huh
To assume makes an ass out of you and me 😂😂 but in this case, mostly you.
Why so negative Mayers?
@@CamaroSS2236 its a joke dude , ive been a subber of this guy for ages and got loads of respect for him , i can not hold up my "im ironic" card when typing on the internet so im hoping that the reader has the intelligence to understand ;)
@@mikemayers9353 trashy response
EBC IS GARBAGE. You’re gonna spend $300 on pads if you don’t want any dust at all
What do you recommend then? Not many ceramic options for the S6. No Akebono, no TRW, etc etc
@@IgnitionTube Waiting for this response also....
Honestly, I loved the reds on all platforms I’ve driven besides my 2015 s5. Extremely disappointed. They gave up so early and also a lot more dust than I would have expected. I switched to g-loc and even went with their autocross pad r6 and the amount of dust they create are about the same as the reds with 10x the performance. I would take a look at the gs-1 level pad they offer for regular daily if you just want less dust.
Red stuff dust horribly
