Then he'd have to save up for the piping. Which he says he already has full exhaust. I'm assuming that means catbacks.

right and i have a 94 w/single cat so forget the longtubes i dont even have enough power right now to benefit from longtubes..(i mean cam/p&p heads etc..)if im getting headers im getting 1 5/8 MACS or similar ...i wanted to know besides THOSE headers what other MODS would benefit me. remember i have all intake done..all cooling done..all exhaust done (cept for the MACS i may get) what should i do next. (CAM..P&P are too expensive right now and dont say 4.10's b/c i love my 3:23's) any replies would be greatly appreciated..thankz

He doesn;t have full exhaust done...cause you can't have full exhaust dojne until after headers and a 3" Y pipe...

forget exhaust..(i already have a high flow 2.5" y pipe and 3" catback that is flawless..if i am adding to that it would bee just the headers to compliment the y & catback) Im looking for advise besides exhaust/intake/cooling. (no $ for cam or p&p and dont want to get gears.)

if you have no money for cam then jstu save up, cause all you have left thats worth it after headers (jsut do it right hte fist time and get LTs) is internal.


EDIT: forgot your an A4, a new converter would be good too.

For 450 you can get some gears installed. Long tube headers would cost a few hundred more bucs but will give you the better gain. Or see if you can find a used converter.

either stall or LT's IMO. both are going to give u some noticable gains
