Ordered. I bet the custom exhaust shop could do that; I'm going to have them conjure a new 3" TIP for me to use too, so might as well see if they can weld the IC piping together.

this post is beyond helpful.
I would go with a GIAC chip $450 first (you will need to get a diverter valve at the same time)
forge/bailey DV- $150(alot of the time when you go to a local "tuner", they will give you a deal if you buy the chip and dv at the same time)
FMIC- $320 (custom godspeed set-up, some DIY involved)
Custom exhaust- $350 (2.5" exhaust piping, running to a magnaflow muffler, with a nice set of tips)
LaBree HFC/DP/TP- $100-250 (depends on emmisions in your state (if you have to smog you need a cat))
thats a pretty good start-up list....you should look into a tip chip (altlhough I am not sure if one is available for a '97)
And if you plan on making bigger power, the road that most atomatics take is LEVEL TEN
you can search on here and research more before making any decisions
NOTE: If this car is new to you , have it checked out, it is an 11 year old car...this is when the control arms go, motor mounts, tranny mounts, cv boots, oil cooler...and the list goes on and on...somewhere between 90-120K a lot of the parts I listed go out....along with gaskets and seals....
before performing a single mod, make sure that all of you maintenance is taken care of
here is another good site that you should take a look at audidiy.com
there are also many free mods available for our cars, just take a look in our DIY section....I remeber reading somewhere that you can convert a regular auto to a tiptronic...sounded kinda cool
alright, well, I hope something up there made some sense
