Default What to do on a 01 T/A

Trying to figure out what to do next, it's all stock except a slp lid, thinking I'll get a pp tb but after that I'm not sure. I've seen headers, y pipe, cat and things like that but not sure what to do first?

Depends on the budget. If you can do all the exhaust at once do it. If not start with a cat back. That would be my next mod if I were you

Ive used flowmaster, hooker aero chamber, and slp loud mouth. I know people dog flowmaster but I could tell the biggest 'seat of the pants feel' with their cat back. I was least happiest with hooker cat back. The loud mouth was def loud! Magnaflow gets alot of good reviews. I personally think magnaflow and corsa sound the best. It all depends on what you want to spend and how loud you want it to be

everybody says stall for an a4 car , but honestly that is a big job to do or expensive mod to have installed. I would do headers and cat-back before a stall. I am doing a stall when I do my h/c install.
I have bbk headers with magna flow cat-back , love the sound of it.

Yeah im not really planning on doing any racing, right now it's just a dd and figured it would be something fun to start learning how to work on. More power is awesome but not trying to do anything too serious
