UPDATE:
I actually called Dinan Tech Support and explained the erratic shift pattern that I was experiencing. They said they hadn't had the problem in the past and the S1 shouldn't be a requirement for just the exhaust on its own. He did mention that the tranny may be over-compensating for the added RPM's and to have the installer check it out. So based on some info he gave me I decided to do the "Tranny Reset Trick" on my own to see if it cures anything....well......BIG DIFFERENCE ! Now the car shifts out perfectly!
SO ....... in conclusion, you probably DO NOT need the software. What I was experiencing may have just been a fluke or something but it seems to run way better now!
This Friday I get the TB, CAI and S3 installed......should be fun!!!!

I'm planning on doing all those mods this summer and was really
looking for someone else who has them for an objective opinion.
Please post after you get the rest. I can't wait to find out how it is.

Well troops....everything is done. With the Dinan exhaust, Intake, Throttle Body and S3 Software, the car now drives the way it should.
FYI....I have an AUTO so now whether in triptronic or DS the car revs each gear right to just before redline and shifts out perfectly! Lots of grunt and the exhaust is about 20% louder with the intake which really sounds beautiful.
I'm pretty happy with everything and it runs like a top!!!!
