no nos kit, heres what ud need, u want a couple of things for that 700 bucks....get a ls6 intake manifold, and a cutout....i know uve got a flowmaster, but a cutout will give u the horse power, and if thats not ur thing get an underdrive pully......manifold-300-400 bucks, cutout-200, or pulley 150-200....this will give u the biggest output along with what u already have....dont do nos or ur gonna be tuning and and just raping ur engine....do that as a mod when u get a H/C set up.....THIS IS UR BEST BET

Yeah i would agree, nos in the long run can do some weird stuff. Try the ls6 intake manifold slponline sells it $399 cheapest ive found it unless you can get it from one of the guys on here for like $300-350. A pulley adds like 1.2hp or something i dont like them, especially if your an a4 then u need an overdrive pulley for the alternater. second id dump your flowmaster and just get a new muffler a 3" exh is a 3" exhaust just put a better flowing muffler on.
