Need Guidance

Hey guys, I'm not very car savy and need some guidance. I already have an air intake and tune. Im looking for more horses, that arent crazy expensive. Super charger, way too much for now. And I am moving back to ny soon so I cant install headers. What else you do you suggest? And please include price if you can. Appreciate it!

Catback exhaust will give you a few, as will high flow cats. I'm confused as to why you can't install headers because on NY. I'm not familiar with NY emissions law so that could be why. Lowering springs won't give you more horses but will help with center of gravity and handling.

A rear end gear swap runs about $800 for parts and usually about $500 for install and is one of the best bang for your buck performance mods you can do.

A decent suspension set up won't add power but will make your car a lot more fun to drive and make better use of the power you already have.

Are you an A6 or M6? If A6 a torque convertor will make it seem like you have a lot more HP. A throttle body ported is only 150 and will give you some. Under drive pulley is also about 200 and will give you some more.

A catback is the worst HP/$$ mods. HF cats would be a good one if you can gaurantee that it will pass emmissions.
