Absolutely, no problem with inspection b/c VAST adds two new O2 bungs pass the precats relocating the O2 sensors.
The stock O2s work fine, but you'll need to work on getting the slack out to reach the new bungs.
Getting those piggies one is work, especially on TIP A6's. Gotta unbolt the subframe.

I just dont know if vast's piggies are worth the $400 now. My local shop will do it for 125 + 50 for software which will allow it to pass emissions. Its a tough choice for someone on a budget like me

Evidently there is a software that eliminates the CEL for good... I have seen it on test pipes on the A4. The way I understand it (explained to me by the shop owner) The piggies w/out relocated o2 sensors throw CEL's p1131 and p1113. The software takes thoes codes and makes them dissapear for good. I'm not sure about it which is why I am still considering Piggies. I would like to save a few $ to get some suspension, but I don't know if its worth it.

Not really difficult since most the components can be accessed from the top and the passenger side headlight has to be removed.
Take a lok at these very clear instructions and determine if it is something you want to do yourself. http://www.goapr.com/Audi/support/bi...stallation.pdf

i was thinking of getting the piggies and the ecu tuning at the same time and having Vast install the piggies while im there, but that will most likely not happen until next spring. But i figured i could get the bi pipe, new DVs and a drop in filter for now.
Dont you have to send your DP's back to Vast to get 300 bucks back (to make them 350)? I figured i could save some shipping by just driving up, and im not sure if i have the proper equipment to install them myself.

You are right on shipping yourstock piggies back to VAST, so yes you could save a bit by driving to them and having them perform the install for you.
Fow what I have read the drop in filter doesn't get you much, so you may want to focus on the low hanging fruit first: DV ($75.00 for 2 x 710n), TBB ($75.00 for a Samco), APR chip $600 for an APR), new plugs ($75 for a set of 6 NGK Platinum). These should be done kinda together so you'll run trouble-free. Then the piggies should be next... about $400 + install (several hours@ $xx.00 each).
