Converter and 373 gears for your A4. That would make your car feel like a new animal.

I'd get a conveter and headers. Those are what I saw the most performance out of my car for. You should be able to get a set of macs and a converter for around that price.

Which converter you want will be the hard choice but yank has a good chart to help you decide.
