If you wanna keep your ko3 then go with FMIC or atleast smic from Apikol (or other). Downpipe with testpipe will give you 10hp or so, maybe more combined with fmic

What can't you put on next... what's your budget?
- downpipe
- FMIC
- suspension mod (strut bar, springs, coilovers, sway kit
- brakes
- clutch or tip chip
- exhaust
- rims... I can go all day

You can go with custom exhaust with downpipe + fmic.
Also, if u want to feel the big difference driving around- get the sport suspension.

Well, it really depends on what your goal for the car is.. and what your expecations are for it. Are you looking to make it more agressive?

I have found that many people have been happy with the AWE exhaust system, its a little bit louder than most but has a note in its heart and loves to sing. Although many people have different preferences. What I would do is look at what people have the cars at the stage/level you ultimately seek and see what they are mostly running. Also making some friends around your area that have modded Audi's so you can hear the exhausts in person (or start going to GTG's and shows) This will give you the real life sound that cant be mimmicked on YouTube or anything else.

Looking at things in the long run, doing an exhaust will be setting you up for the Stage 2 software. (I cant remember if you need 386cc injectors or if the 225cc injectors will suffice.)

Yeah I'm down here in savannah and i still have yet to see any modded audis, ill rarely even see one down here. But I am looking to make it more aggressive, I'll try and go around to some gtgs but your right i have to hear it in person before i would buy anything.

Savannah? Down by the river? Well get the FMIC before the turbo no doubt. I prefer a hot rod shop machining a custom exhaust. Telling them exactly what sound you want they usually hit the note right on. Go Racetec or ER for FMIC
