Converter is *the* first mod for an A4... After that, tune/tires/suspension (if you arent hooking it)/bolt ons.. Biggest bang for your bucls.

stainless works are good set, youll pay for them though, and check out the local spots by region at the bottom of main page.

Coated pacesetters are will worth the money. Cheapest new headers around.

Welcome by the way.

THE best is a toss up because Kooks, ARH, and Stainless works are well very good quality headers. You'll definitely pay top dollar for them so have your wallet handy

Pacesetter's are much cheaper header and it's important that if you do get them have them coated to preserve their lifetime. They're not stainless so they'll rust out quicker if not coated.

A converter and a tune will definitely be a great first mod to wake up the A4. I wish I would've done it first I have other plans.

I have Kooks long tube stainless steel headers and love 'em. High quality, good power, and nice fitment. Not the cheapest, but they are one of the best available. Check out Maryland Speed for a good deal. If you call Brandon direct, he might give you a better deal since you're a forum member.

Congrats on the purchase. Nice color combo by the way. Cat back, CAI are the most common first mods.
