Hello, I was lurking around the forum and did a few searches, but i did'nt find what I was looking for, currently on my car I have the two piece non projector headlights, it's a 1999 A4 Quattro 2.8 Auto, I was looking at ebay for headlights but I can't seem to figure it out, I would like real projectors with the possibility of adding aftermarket HID's, wich ones should i choose ?

Also I'm a real fan of dual exhaust, not dual tips, but a real dual exhaust system, anything out there for the v6 2.8 ? or should i get out the mandrel bender and tig ?

Thanks

 

1st question since it's a '99 is it a 99 or a 99.5? go here to help find out.

It's not a v8 buddy, sorry to say, I think it'd be kinda pointless.

 

from the pics it's a 99, not the 99.5,

Thanks

 

I guess my V8 roots are showing, but still, there's nothing out there that was done ? I've seen some headers, but they were shorties, so all the power band is in the high rpm range, Worst case I guess i'll just remove the muffler and pass a Y pipe just underneath the rear diff

 

But then again a properly tuned exhaust system with the proper tubing size and right header will give really good gains, but more noticeably, really good low end torque

 

I come from an fbody background, so this is the first 4cyc car I have ever owned. I am not sure about the 2.8 6 cyc, but a nice 2.25 free flowing with offroad (nocat) pipe and a free flowing muffler like magnaflow might be nice and provide enough back pressure to keep the low and mid range torque.

I had done a similar setup in a modified 3.1 90 v6 in a chevy cavalier, and it was very nice sounding.

 

Advice you ask ................. QUICK SELL IT and get something else. these things are addictive and I'm just like a crack wh**e now lol

 

The stock exhaust on this car is similar to the stock intake in that it's really well-designed and flows great. Over the years it's been shown that the V6 cars don't gain much from a catback. Most just do an axle-back to gain the sound and style. Long-standing logic with Audi is to buy the turbo variant if you want power mods and get the V6 for smooth power and less-intensive maintenance. With a V6, buy a supercharger or enjoy the car's engine as-is and mod for handling and style.

And if your car is a 99 and doesn't have projectors, it's an early 99. A 99.5 would have projectors already.

 

LoL for the price I got it for, I can amuse myself and mod it a bit, who knows maybe i'll design new parts for this car aswell, my background is more about american muscle, but in the end it's all the same, piston compression, explosion, piston depression rotation of shaft...

my specialties are exhaust, cooling, lift and electronics.

but my question about the headlights have not been answered, what projector model with hid option should i look at
