Default What should My Next Mods Be?

I was thinking of A Lid and Filter? What Lid is the best? and a Ram Air Kit? Should I do this mod because my car is a Ws6, or would it be unwise?

Well Just needed your guy's opinions

Thanks

The ram air kit will work well on anycar...it forces air into the box...you can do the Free Mod..called free ram air...

www.installuniversity.com

I would go with these choices of Lids...

DirectFlow,SLP,Whisper...these are some of the popular ones...they all basically provide the same deal..

Either a Holley of K&N will do for a filter...

i wouldnt mess with cutting anything on your air box for ram air... you have a WS-6 so why do it... instead look at the Brian Green Ram Air Mod... its a straight through shot... meaning air goes striaght through the hood and into the box... no up and down.. but u just cut it out... pretty simple...

direct flow lid works well.. also do u have M6? or A4??? if A4 get a 3000+ stall verter

Converters are one of the best mods you can do for an A4

You could do a cold air kit if you wanted + the Brian Green Mod....that would give you lots of air...

Its your choice....

with the cold air you cant really go through puddles...with the Brian Green Mod you have to make sure to put the blocker on all the time in the rain other wise its getting sucked into your airbox...the filter will take some of it, but not all...

Any of the lids out there should work fine. They are all about the same. Yes, I agree 98 TAauto. Get a torque converter if it is an A4. By far, the best mod I have made. Very nice SOTP feel.

How aggressive do you wanna get with the modding first off? Are you concerned with warranty issues?
