It is stock. It would be tempting to know but, coming from my previous 4.2 A8s, which
were dyno'd (but less powerful), the noticeable difference in the S8's power seems about right for the rated power.
I know a few garages with rolling roads. In fact I used to repair and maintain their rolling roads for them, but most of those aren't 4-wheel dynos. I do know one owner of a 4-wheel dyno but it's never been properly maintained or calibrated so I wouldn't trust its accuracy.
I am considering investing in a new 'sportier' exhaust system some time in the next year or two, so I might be tempted to pay for a '
before and after' roll, if I can find a local garage with a decent 4-wheel dyno.
