Default Looking for some info

Oh and the Car is a Audi A4 2005.5 Quattro 6 speed

Okay, I know use the search option to find answers to my questions that have no doubt already been posted. But I work a lot of hours and don't have alot of time to research. Was hoping to get some help here.

First off looking at getting a APR Stage 1 ECU upgrade. Was wondering what shops in Colorado ( I live in Parker) are good for that, or if I should just send it it

Two- looking at doing an exhaust- Was looking at Borla mufflers( don't know what I should go with), and going with either 2.5'' to maybe 3'' tubing. Also was wondering about any high flow cats that can still pass emissions

third- looking at doing upgraded headlights. Already have the HID stocks, but looking at getting some R8 style. What companies are good for that?

Fourth- Also looking at some tail lights as well. Any recommendations

Also, Is the cold air intake worth it or should I just do a new drop in filter from AEM, or something?

Oh, and also where can I get tubing to replace a smashed FMIC tube I have?

Thanks everyone.

1. The amount of time you took to write all that a little searching or even my stickey up top would have answered some of those. Not trying to be mean but everyone comes here asking the same info and It is staring people in the face as the 1st couple of posts.

2. APR, REVO, Unitronic, and GIAC are the best Chip companies. I'd recommend in that order. Their sites have zip code searches for close dealers. Use whoever is closest as if you ever need a reflash or upgrade you do not want to make a long trip twice. Mailing it in is rediculous if you have one of those dealers nearby but you need to search that yourself.

3. Exhaust is a waste of money with little to no power gains. You just need the downpipe / cat section only and poof you get a stage 2 tune with just that. Air filter is also not worth it. Just read the info we have taken tons of time to prepare for you new huys up top there.

I understand Man. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help!

I was am just doing a stage 1 Upgrade. Right now after looking APR and Revo are up in the air onto which one I want to go with. IDK if you have found good high-flow cat's, (looking at 034motorsports high flow cat), or if you know any more good places to find them. Also I have a FMIC and need to replace some tubing on it and was wondering if you know any places for that? I have done some searching.

APR is nice because you can swith programs with your cruise stalk for dealer visits. Revo has an external box to do the same. If dealer stealth is not an issue both are great and go with whoever is most convenient. Power will be near the same. If you are looking for a cat you will actually need a stage 2 tune. If emmitions are not tested i'd get the ebay test pipe. On the i/c piping lI would call whoever sells your kit or go to a local performance shop to make you a pipe.
