My friend just picked up an A3 and keeps asking me where to look to get good idea for subwoofer placement and installation. I tell him I am not well versed in silly things like that but I will gladly tell him how to to make it faster. He tells me "OK" which leads me here; asking you fine gents and ladies. I'm assuming this is one of the cars where all the magic happens in the ECU. So far I'm thinking an open exhaust and some computer tuning will result in a pleasing increase in power. He has the 2.0 TFSI with the DSG.
