If you’re looking for a tasteful interior upgrade that people will notice, this RS4 parking brake handle will do the trick. Straight from the B7 RS4, this parking brake handle is wrapped in sabre black perforated leather. Add some genuine RS4 styling to your vehicle.

Massive rotors, multiple-piston brakes, and advanced pads are glamorous, eye-catching upgrades to your vehicle. But experienced enthusiasts know that all that stopping power relies on adequately bled brake lines. Your brake fluid is incompressible, like a metal; but air is compressible, so ridding your lines of this gas is imperative for fully realized braking power and response. ECS has an array of solutions to tighten up your braking system, including a Power Brake Bleeder, multiple synthetic Brake Fluid options, and a premium Schwaben Brake Bleeder Wrench.

Light on weight. Long on looks. ECS Tuning 2-Piece front and rear brake rotors combine the natural advantages of a cast iron braking surface with the weight savings and rapid heat dissipation of an aluminum hat. Cast iron-gray and durable matte black hats create an eye-catching contrast that accents painted calipers behind open-faced alloy wheels. These beauties have all the extras: black anodized hats, cross-drilled and slotted brake faces, and unlike OEM, directionally veined rotors for better cooling and heat dissipation over stock.

We don't know how you feel about it, but trusting your engine's most vital fluid to a plastic filter housing seems like a leap of faith. In fact, after repeated heat cycling and several oil changes performed with pliers and other makeshift tools, the original plastic filter housing body gets pretty ratty. Why not install a smart looking billet aluminum housing and take the guesswork and risk out of filter changes. These durable aluminum housings come with the proper installation socket, and take readily available standard drain plug seals.

Here's a "sound" investment that will give your Audi RS4 a voice worth listening to. ECS Tuning has developed an H-Pipe that replaces the OE resonator, producing a great outside exhaust note that won't drone you out of the interior. As an added bonus, we've personally tested this H-Pipe numerous times on the dyno and found an extra 3-5 hp at 6000-8000 rpm. The H-pipe won't interfere with flapper valves in the rear mufflers. Installation is a cut and clamp affair. Cut out the old resonator; clamp in the H-pipe.

The camshaft follower found in your Audi 2.0T FSI engine rides on the camshaft and transfers the motion into the high pressure fuel pump. This small part plays a big role in your engine's well being, keeping a barrier and connection point between your camshaft and your high pressure fuel pump. Numerous issues cause excessive wear of the camshaft follower: fuel dilution of the oil, poor lubrication due to low-ZDDP oil regulations, insufficient surface hardening of the cam follower contact surface, to name a few. Check your cam follower often, and keep this kit on hand!
