Default What else can I do???

I have an 02 35th LE A4 that has the following:

SLP LT Coated Headers w/ Catted Y-Pipe
SLP CME
SLP BLACKWING LID
SLP 85mm MAF
SLP COLD AIR INDUCTION
K&N Drop-In
TB Bypass
P&P TB
Street Tune

I am still debating installing a UD Pulley, and an electric water pump is out of the qeustion, but are there any more bolt-ons I can do to add some ponies? I don't want to do H/C and installing a FAST would be almost pointless. Thanks!!!

cat delete pipes, they should be good for 5-7 horsepower and maybe just a bit more torque. Just make them removable so you can put the cats in or pull them out using band clamps.

gears and a converter would be the next step for an auto.

suspension would be the next "easy" thing to do. poly torque arm bushing, lower control arms and a panhard bar would tighten the suspension up. subframe connectors would also be a BIG help.

here is what i would do, in this order:
1) LCAs
2) Converter (do NOT go cheap here, i'd go precision vig, or yank)
3) Cutout

then maybe consider gears depending on how much you drive it on the highway. If you car is a 2.73 car then for sure get gears, if it is 3.23 then I would probably wait.
