Default Some money to spend.. Best way to go?

Okay..I'm selling my Honda tomorrow for $6700. Part of that money's going to paying off my Michelin Alpin winter tires, most is going towards refinancing my loan.

I'm thinking of using part of this for my A4. Prolly ballpark $2-500, maybe a little more if its worth it.

I've heard mixed opinions on if an intake and/or exhaust or chip are worth it on the B6 3.0.

I possibly want upgraded side mirrors with turn signals/lenses built in but don't know where to go. Any other
suggestions that I might like? Any opinions are obviously considered and I appreciate it!







I change the title so it wasnt all in caps

Chip it 1st. best bang for your buck and one that you can use as a base for your other performance upgrades.

No point putting an intake on a stack car, it'll decrease your gas mileage (at least that was my experience) we bought the car with the intake and the gas mileage sucked, got chipped and I'm up around the 22MPG for combined city/highway. Highway alone I get 30-34 depending on speed. Before the chip I was getting 14-16 city/highway and 23 highway.

I don't know of an exhaust you'll be able to get for 500 or under, that would be worth having anyway

yeah I know..Milltek'll cost my around 1k, remus w/ a custom cat back'd be cheaper, but it seems people are 50/50 split on milltek vs remus. Seems people are split on GAIC vs APR chip/flashing also..again any help would be appreciated! Except you Ryan! Go get a job!

you have to remember that he's a 3.0 not a 1.8 when talkng bout the chip.

I was waiting for someone to say that^. Don't chip it. With naturally asspirated a chip isn't going to do anything. For the money you have, factored into the car you have, there arn't a whole lot of options. Your car is pretty well equiped from the factory. Honestly I would suggest saving it for a little for an exhaust or something. If you really are in the mood for a new car mod you could look into a new grill, HID kit, system, new rear valance (would be my first b6 mod), roof spoiler duh duh duh duh duh. As for the intake issue I can't help Im not very informed on b6s however Im sure Panda is gonna tell you everything you need to know in the morning. Good luck

i'm pretty sure his car already has the HID's going, but the grill is a nice option.
