Second mod opinion!

[jakef777]

:help: I have a 2002 ws6 a4. Right now my only mod is a lid, filter and bellows. I have the money right now to do either do exhaust (slp lm), or 3.73 gears. Can any of you guys give me your opinion on which mod I should do? I would really appreciate it!

thanks

[Blazingz28]

Well its an easy decision, speed... or sound w/ some speed

I would say exhaust, as soon as i got my magnaflows installed i began to LOVE my car hah.. But then again im sure the 3:73's would be nice.

My vote is for exhaust though

Well let's start off with this...what are you goals for the car? Track? Daily Driver? Then we'll go from there.

[jakef777]

The car is my daily driver. I do a little street racing here and there. Will I lose any power going with the slp lm straight through resonator?

save up some money and do a stall converter, you can thank me later

Don't listen to NHRAForm----he doesn't know anything about these cars look at his puny timeslip. Personally I would do a stall convertor next.

[Hurley711]

After that I would get a nice sounding free flowing CB like Hooker or Magnaflow, then since you then a niceDD it look into some SFC and Bilstein HD shocks to improve the ride quality.

if anything, dont listen to a guy who owns a ram air, we all know a ram air is a riced out version of a formula:lol:

No way man! This guy NHRA is ridiculus, GM says so themselves that Ram Air adds 15 hp! It was right there on the window sticker! Duh!

I'd get a converter, then exhaust, then you NEED subframe connecters.

So true

[TwistedSS]

A stall would be nice...but personally I couldn't stand having stock exhaust because of the lack of noise. I would go with a good quality cat-back (Magnaflow or Hooker) then drop in a stall converter. Does that car have 3.23's? If so, id say leave the gears alone and put a good stall in. Then maybe some underdrives and she'll feel like a new car!

Magnaflow: :thumbup:

[2000ss!!]

i just did magnaflows, lid and exaust, the exaust is by far the best then i did 3.73 and its a huge toss up if you have the 3,23 and some extra cash try 3,55 they are more streetable.

[jakef777]

The car does have 3.23's. Iam really getting tired of the the stock exhaust. It is really quite and I like an aggressive exhaust, so that's probably the next thing I will do. I really wanted to do the slp LM, but some of you guys are saying magnaflow, hooker, etc. Is there any reason why I should not go with the slp? Is there good hp gains with this exhaust compared to the others? Whats really going to be the difference?

[~redlinels1~]

The loudmouth is a good exhaust, but if you ever decide to get headers your car will sound like crap. Magnaflow is a perfect all-around CB.

[halldorvj]

Hello, I have ram air 96 and it has borla exhaust (you gota love that sound) and kn filter and Im thinking what I sould do next, maby just get nitro system 150shot. What is your apinion on that?

[sleeperstyle]

a stall will give you the most bang for the buck during racing- but if you like pussy footing around get the cat-back exhaust and gain .1 in the 1/4 and 1 mph if you are lucky- vs. .5-.7 in the 1/4 with a stall and sticky tires.


you don't need 3.73's- get a stall with your current gears and you'll be happy. if you plan on doing a car AND a stall then size both accordingly. also stalled your car will have no traction without drag radials.

[jakef777]

Say I go ahead and do a converter. Will I have to do a trans cooler kit if I get a converter with a 3100 stall?

[Red98TransAm]

Sent email to you

[01camaross]

so how big of a stall could you go with with only 3.23 gears i was wanting to get a 2800-3200 stall with 3.73s
thanks Scott

[Red98TransAm]

My converter stalls at 3000 according to the data logger I have installed.

[redline]

your stock rear end can take up to 550hp to the wheels. Listen to these boys and go with the converter.Use a 3000 to 3500 hundred stall with and external T-cooler you will shit your britches trust me.
