Default What was your best mod?

Please post and list what if your car was an A4 or M6. Also tell what order you did your mods in?

M6- lid and FTRA was first. Then did headers/catback/LS6 intake/P&P TB/short throw/Plugs&Wires all at the same time so it is hard to say what was best. I will say I love having the headers but I am sure I will love heads and cam once I do that....

M6-Ran a 13.8 with the check engine light on for the MAF being fucked.
Install SLP flow-pak and LM1 ran a 13.5.
Bought a SLP MAF ran a 13.0.
I had kumhos then got some coopers and ran a 12.7.

So the MAF was my biggest gain but thats because it just fixed the stocker that was running super rich.

Auto would be a stall

Exhaust is always one of the top ones if you like a nice sounding car

Lid/SSRA, felt a very small increase. P&P the TB myself, felt very nice increase. Exhaust most noticeable until 4.10 gears

when i was just bolt ons i'd say the ported tb was the most noticable , then when the cam went in that changed everything up, but out of all -the nitrous pulls my car like a freight train

M6- Car came with volant cai and STB. I did in order---!CAGS, short stick, plugs wires, TB, hooker catback/cutout, FRA/TB bypass, DMH e-cutout, LT's/y-pipe, and then the tune.

Favorite mod is the DMH cutout so I can fine tune the sound with it partially open/closed. I love a good sounding car.

The mod I felt the most with none. I have a bad butt-o-meter.

All I've done is a lid with FRA, stb and an HPPIII. Plenty for now with an A4.
