Default what is your favorite bolt on mod?? come on in

i just wanna ask this. i have been asked a lot what my favorite mod has been and its really a toss up. i love the headers for the power and sound. i love my predator for its adjustability and tuning. i love my suspension cause it looks good lowered and handles great. and all the induction (lid, filter....) helped throttle response. and the free mods well cause they were free. just wanna know what your fav. bolt on mods are.....

also figured this would help get some newbies an idea of where to start for the best satisfaction lol

ill start, by far i think the headers were my fav. mod cause everyone loves the way my exhaust sounds and so do i. the power is great too. running a close 2nd is the predator and then my induction components....

I'm with you, definitely my headers. Though I wouldn't recommend headers as a first mod, it made the biggest difference in the most number of ways.

I'm really thankful for my skip-shift eliminator too, though.

I voted for the free mod option b/c so far my facvorite mod has been getting rid of the !CAGS! . I know it was not free but it has been my favorite to date.

I would say headers out of the stuff listed. My all-time two favorite bolt ons are 4.10 rear for M6 and torque converter for A4.

I choose the catback. It's really simple to install and relatively cheap depending on which brand you choose. It also will change the personality of your car rather quickly. I noticed quite a difference once I installed my loudmouth, in performance and obviously the sound. My car didn't seem like just a V6

I voted for catback, specifically the GMMG catback because of its signature sound!
