Default Exhaust or Stall?!

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed several times before but I couldn't find anything on it since the search is acting crazy. Anyways, right now I've got a little extra money to get something for my car, but I can't decide what I would rather get right now.

I've narrowed it down to getting pacesetter headers and the TSP true duals with sweet thunders or getting a 3600 stall. Right now the car is still my daily driver and it's mainly driven about 30 min. a day on the interstate. So let me know your opinions! Thanks

Do you go to the track alot? Stall.

Do you just want some more power and noise? Exhaust.

I don't go to the track a lot but I will be once our local track opens back up.

Right now I'm leaning more towards exhaust though because I miss the sound of my true duals too much

You should probably mention what your goals are.

I vote stall. I did Stall and LS6 intake and went from a 13.4@104 to a 12.6@108mph. It is hella fun to drive around with it too!

Well, I'll be doing my exhaust first. I couldn't decide which I wanted to do first but I bought a set of TSP duals from a member on here for only $300 so I couldn't pass it up.

Stall should be THE VERY first mod(aside from the basic lid and cutout) for an A4. Not gears, not exhaust, A STALL. Its the best bang for the buck and really makes the A4 deadly from a dig and more of a contender from a roll.

Absolutely! I just couldn't pass up the deal I got on the duals...but the very next mod I do will be a stall.

Personally, I prefer to not have to restart my car, so purchasing a stall would be out of the question. BUT, I like what a torque converter did for my car.

I didn't gain more than a 1/10th with LT headers but gained 1/2 second + with 3400 stall. Can take out Vipers 1/2 way down the track, then they get me right at the end.

This Is your "DD"? then 3600 is KInda High if you ask me.. Also your going to need Tires to hold you down for that Size. Go with The Exhaust setup you want.. Your Track is Not even Open Yet. SO just wait till it opens to get the stall
