Default Help!!

I have a 96 A4 2.8 v6 base. I would like to increase my hp and improve the sound of my exhuast. I would really like to hear your suggestions and ideas. Get at me, thanks for reading.

i suggest you read the stickies at the top of the forum before asking questions that already are answered right there. there are almost zero horsepower increasing mods for your car, sorry. your options for more power are: nitrous, exhaust, testpipe/HFC. thats it.

Pricey....but it should sound pretty good. Like stated above, you probably won't notice a hp increase but the exhaust note should be decent.

Look. Thrush welded muffler w/ a resonator delete. All the exhaust mods you need.

Dont they have a supercharger for the v6 too?

Other than that I just see people turn the v6 into more of a show car

PES only made a SC for the 30v, in 96 the V6 was a 12v. IIRC they switched in 98.5.

Read this and this, there is a lot of useful information in both. In a nutshell though, the 12v is unmodifiable for power. you can slap a DIY intake/cone filter set up on the front and a DIY exhaust on the back and it will sound cooler, but i very much doubt that you will receive any noticeable HP gains from either.

I've been through both of those. I just didnt realize it was a 12v or that the sc was limited to the 30v.

Always get your exhaust from a custom exhaust shop. Systems are way overpriced. I recommend Magnaflow.
